| Solo morning run on the Orem library route. With Sunday's big snow storm there was no shoulder to run on so I alternated between dodging occasional cars and black ice on the road and risking rolled ankles on uneven frozen slush-covered sidewalks. I hope just getting out counts for something. |

| Wayne and I ran the Tuesday 2000 N route. With still no shoulders because of snow we had to share the road with the occasional car, but we managed okay. After coming back down 2000 N and heading north for a while we heard female voices gaining on us. Neither of us was much interested in getting passed I guess because our pace shifted from quite slow to not quite as slow. We managed to hold them off and even pull away a bit, but we were both quite tired at the end of the run. I guess that's a good thing. |

| The snow from Sunday's big storm still fills the shoulders of the road, and many of the sidewalks are in pretty poor condition. Nevertheless, Larry and I still headed up 1600 N and attempted the water tank hills this morning. The first big hill is dry, but by hill #2 the road conditions were frozen and slippery. We made it up hill #2 and part of #3, mostly walking, before we decided to head back. Going downhill was more treacherous than going up. It made the bad sidewalks down 1600 N more appealing. The temperatures are above freezing this week, but not quite warm enough to melt all the snow already on the sidewalks and sides of the road. The good news is that it's only 5 days before the winter solstice when the sun starts moving north again and the days start getting longer.

| Cascade route with Larry, Wayne and Nick. We left a little late. We had a comfortable conversational run until the golf course. Larry had to get back so he and Nick turned around there. Wayne and I picked up the pace and ran the full course. We actually managed a couple of 8:20-ish miles near the end. |

| I ran the Orem library route solo. I pushed a little harder than normal right from the start. I averaged 8:13/mi overall, with 8:02 and 7:49 for the last couple of miles. Considering how slowly I've been running this winter, I feel pretty good about the effort. |

| I got a little tired on the long run this morning, and it was great! I finally got in a 40 mile week. It's been a while. Larry, Wayne, Kevin and I worked our way down to Wil's then back up to the mouth of the canyon. Wayne and I pushed ahead and went on up to the fountain. We both wanted to get in at least 12 miles so we could hit 40 miles for the week. The head wind up the canyon was pretty cold, but we endured and it felt good to turn around and head down. Wayne and I were both feeling pretty tired at the end but we managed to hang on and finish relatively strong. The last 3/4 mile was at 7:53 pace. We averaged exactly 9:00/mi overall. |
