Met Jon Bret Ken and Riley at the WalMart on 21st and ran into downtown Ogden. Roads were slick and icy but we were still able to maintain an average pace of 7:30.

So on a side note, over the weekend I was offered and accepted to be a member of Skechers GoRun Team Elite. So for 2014, I will be running for Skechers. Really pumped for the opportunity.

PM: 6.1 with Jace and Riley in Layton not a slick as this morning.
