GOING THE DISTANCE

8am -  3 miles up in Brian Head.  It was pretty hard after a month off and being at 9500 ft elevation.  But it was still nice to run.  It was a bit chilly.  Nice views of the runs and what not.

7:30am -  Ran in Brian Head again.  I took my dog.  We went up around the cabins and explored stuff.  Ran up some killer hills and it sucked.  That and the elevation really tired me out so I cut it short.

1pm -  Ran 4 miles in Cedar with my dad.  I wore my new running gloves my sister got me, and they are cool.  I was a bit sore in my calves from 2 days of snowboarding. 

1pm -  3 miles on the dino tracks loop with my dad.  and my mom i guess but she was far behind.

8am -  Me and my dad went and ran mustang pass.  We just went up and back cuz the full loop is 5 miles.  Now I'm heading up to Spanish Fork to run in the freezing cold.

10am -  4.3 miles in Spanish Fork around my grandma's house.  It was cool running around there.  My dad told me stuff about things he did around the neighborhood as a kid.  It was fun.  It was a bit chilly like 18 degrees.  My new gloves were good for that.

10am -  Me and Alex went and ran up hell hole canyon.  I went up the canyon 2 miles.  It was freezing in the canyon and there was ice all over the trail.  When we were running back Alex took a nasty fall from slipping on the ice.  He got bloodied up pretty bad.

11am -  Today was a great run to finish out the year.  I wanted to start at green springs park and head toward the turkey farm road.  So i drove up there and ran through the bushes up to the cottontail trail.  Ran on that for about a mile until it merged into the middleton powerline trail.  I was planning on 4 miles but I could see a water tank up ahead which looked about a half mile away (when i was at 2 miles).  So I decided I would run 5 miles and go to the water tank.  Then I could at least see how far i was from the turkey farm road.  I got to the top of the hill that the water tank was on and the road was right there.  BOOM!  My mind was blown.  I didn't know the turkey farm road was so close to my house.  The way back was great, all downhill except a flat spot for a mile.  My final mileage for the year was 1110.56.  Which is rad cuz I ran over 1000 miles in a year.
