Another frosty morning run. Went a little over 10K with Kim. Ave pace around 10:00. Afterward went about 4 more solo. Ave pace 8:20. 

Day off today so heading off shortly to Canyons so boys can can snowboard then Kim and I and the girls are heading to Midway Homestead resort for a swim in "The Crater" hot springs. I was feeling a little dead-legged today so perhaps a dip in the Crater will be just what we need.

I hope you enjoyed the Crater. I just watched recently the part of "Dante's Peak" where two skinny dippers get boiled alive in a volcanic hot spring. I hope you had a better experience.

Tom, thanks for your support. It sounds like you had a fun day. Hot springs are great. Your comment made sense about not overdoing it. Easy to get caught up in the race hipe. Your comment brings back a memory of a runner friend who has now passed, he ran many races good, but always ran two or three great races each year.

Paul, Brent - We had a good time at the Crater, no boiling alive this time, although we thought we might freeze solid walking from the dressing room area down the cave corridor to the water. Hopefully it was all therapeutic.

I'm looking forward to all of us having at least 2 or 3 great races this year.
