Well that was character building :/

 

I climbed up to the mouth of American Fork Canyon.  It’s challenging enough on its own, but this morning added snow, wind, and snow-plow sludge.  Those 3 miles were gnarly and HARD.  Lots of climbing and crazy footing.

 

But once I hit the golf course, the wind eased up and there was no snow-plow sludge.  

 

On the way down the canyon, I was finally able to “run” and felt good.  

 

Maybe I should have done this on a TM?  Or maybe this built mental toughness.

 

I will do the hilly part of this run for my hill workout on Monday.  Hopefully, the conditions will be better.

 

Calves/inside shins are VERY tight.  Massage already on the schedule for Tuesday.

Abby has an indoor track meet so I didn’t get out till lunch time.  It was weird to run in the daylight.  Everything felt good.
