Inspiration point - asphalt trail except for the last 1/2 mile and back at the half-way mark - so avoided the 7 mile muddy ups and downs of yesterday. Rained hard and lots of very strong wind. Good fun. 10.5 min miles.

Back to Paradise with a vengeance. I failed the redneck test miserably - two 350 lb (+) guys roll up to the mouth of Green Canyon in giant pickups hauling Snow Kats replete with king size caterpillar tracks. One guy is so big he is oozing out of the window of his Kat. They then proceed to zoom up Green Canyon in a flurry of snow and fumes. I have no idea why or where they were going but try as I might I couldn't generate any sense of envy for their rigs...what's wrong with me? It just shows how 4 days in Berkeley can totally trash one's values....

1200 E -> 3700N and back on 1600E. Trying to string together back-to-back 60 mile weeks - hard going this week. Have a 17 miler scheduled for Saturday - so we'll see.

USU -> Green Gate in Green Canyon and back - really hard to motivate myself to go but had a good run with 3 sub-9 min miles on the way back [admittedly 1.5 were downhill :-)]....

Well, got side-swiped by a red air day alert which I wasn't expecting on a weekend - don't have time to spare today to go to Bear Lake and so the 60 mile week plan bites the dust.
