Noon run, sunny, temp 58'

My legs are still sore from Saturdays activities.  I ran with Eric and I went much faster than I would have alone.  We ran at about a 7:25 mile pace.  My Garmin said low on batteries then it shut off.  I just charged it Saturday evening and this was my 1st run since it was charged.  I hope it is not dieing.

I wish the weather could always be like todays for running.

Time about 56 minutes

Morning run, no wind, temp 51'

My legs are still a little sore.  I ran slow for 4 miles with the idea that my legs need more recovery easy miles.  After 4 miles I started feeling like a dang sissy so I picked up the pace for the last 3.  I felt much more manly by the end of the run.

Time 53:40,  Mile avg. - 7:40

Evening run, Temp. 60'

I had managment meetings at the Sundance Resort.  We got out early enough to get a good run in.  I headed up the Alpine loop road past Aspen and past the closed gates to roads with no cars.  Yes it was wonderful to be in the snow capped mountains with no worries of cars. 

Time 1:14:05,  Mile avg. - 8.82

Whoops Mile avg. 8:24

Morning run, Sundance Resort, Temp. 32'-40'

I ran up the Alpine loop again.  It was wonderful in the morning watching the yellow sun hit the snow capped mountains, seeing the deer and the rabbits, birds etc....

Elevation change 6200 feet to 7700 feet.

This would be a good run for the WBR team.  There is parking just before the road is blocked off in the Mt. Timpanogas trailhead parking lot.

Morning run, Temp 40-45'

Went on the Father & Sons campout up Mill Creek Canyon at one of the scout sites. We had a good turnout.  No one wanted to get up at 6:00 am an go running with me.  Imagine that.  Anyway I headed up the canyon.  After about 2 miles the road was blocked off.  Yahoo, I got lucky again.  Free open mountain road to run on.  The last 1/4 mile had about 75 yards of snow on it.  It was a good time to turn around and see if breakfast was anywere near being ready.
