Last night (Friday) I stayed at a cabin up Big Cottonwood Canyon with friends.  I had so much fun playing games, laughing, and getting to know people.  I planned to leave early Saturday morning for my big workout.  Well, that failed and I stayed up there until the afternoon.  

I woke up before everyone else and hit the snowy, icy, trails.  I softly jogged up toward Doughnut Falls and left the snowshoes I was carrying on the side of the trail.  On the way back down I passed cross country skiers that were also enjoying the lovely morning.  I got back to where I had placed my snowshoes, and they were gone!  I figured the skiers had taken them so I ran all the way back up the hill to catch them.  They told me they saw the snowshoes and threw them behind a log on the other side of the path.  I was a little annoyed.  It took me about 10 minutes to find where they had put the snowshoes.

Went back to the cabin and ate some breakfast.  After breakfast everyone wanted to go up to the falls, so back up to the falls I went!  The falls are beautiful!  It's an easy trail and I will be going back in the spring to run it.

Got home, went to the gym and did 6 miles in 50 minutes on the TM.  The leg is feeling a lot better.  I lifted for about 30 minutes after that.

Bec I am so glad you are feeling better. When I get more time I would love to hike and run trails with you. I worked for the forest service for about 7 years to put myself through college. I love the mountains!

Look at the miles - yahoo! Bummer, you had to go on a wild goose chase to get your snow shoes back!

I hope I didn't wake everyone in the house up! I was late for class and was going to ask you to save me a bike if possible, but when you weren't at the gym I figured I'd woken everyone up at 7AM with my stupid call!! SO sorry if I was the one that got you up and out and losing snow shoes!

Nice job on the miles, I'm glad you're getting the miles in and that the ankle isn't bothering you! LOVE LOVE LOVE to hike, Mt Grandeur is my favorite day hike...if you'd ever want to go slow enough to wait for small feet being bribed by licorice we could head up there sometime this spring/early summer!
