It finally warmed back up. I guess it was only a week of freezing temps, but it felt like a long time. I ran up to the top of wasson peak for the first time of the year. I forgot to eat breakfast and I think that caused some fatigue prior towards the end of the climb to the peak. It felt great to be back on the trail though. No foot or knee pain. It was super windy on the ridge lost my hat a couple of times.

If you think the temps you have had are cold you will never be able to come back to Utah. It was 13 degrees at 9am when I got to work. I think the high today is in the early 20's.

Good job on the peak.
