6 on the TM. Awful.

By the time I had time to run it was dark, cold and windy, so my options were the track or the TM. I wound up on the TM at the gym. The first mile was 8:40, the second 8:20 and the rest sub 8.

Avenue Twin Peaks with Dorsimus:

Dors and I had an incredible run up to the Ave Twins from the City Creek BST. It was cold at the start, but once we got moving we both heated up and after the first mile we were both sweating a lot. The trail still had some occasional mud, snow and ice on it, but overall it was in pretty good shape. We had a nice moderate pace going up and just chatted the whole time and enjoyed the views and the sun. I don't even know what our time was to the top, but it was a blast getting up there. On the summit I took a gel and we snapped a few pics.

The run down was a lot of fun. We took a slightly different route that wasn't as tracked out, but still wasn't too bad. Awesome views of the city. We kept a decent pace all the way down, but never went too fast while we chatted away. The only negative on the run was my hammy was pretty tight most of the time, probably from running on the TM.  Awesome day and I think we will try to do this at least once per week.

Dors about to summitt:
