Easy run around the park. Some jump roping after.

8.5 miles on the groomed XC ski trails at Round Valley. Way better running than I expected. I did 5 x 1 minute hard uphill efforts at the end with a jog back down. Grabbed a solo breakfast at Squatters in Park City. Got home and took the kids skiing. They are skiing now while I'm sitting in the Peruvian reading and listening to banter of people from all over the world on vacation.

Rest day. Lots of my body parts are sore and achy.

This is the best thing I've read on Donald Trump

Decent treadmill run in the afternoon. Would have run more but other responsibilities encroached on my time.

AM: 1 easy mile around the block a couple times. Heading out to the Winter Series 15k now. Should be fun. I will race with no watch, go out at a sensible pace, and see how many people I can catch on the way back. Will try to break 1 hour.

Race - It went ok. 29:55 at the turn-around and I finished in 59:43 with a headwind on the way back. Caught one person - Bill Cobler - at mile 7 so I finished 1-1 vs. Bill in the Winter Series races this year. I ran the race as a hard workout. Noticed that aerobically I felt great but the legs aren't used to fast turnover for that length of time. Probably from all the mountain trail miles I've been logging lately.

Going to eat some cheesy, eggg, potato stuff now that Ann is making and then go to the gym and hot tub some.
