| Happy New Year. I ran on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in North Salt Lake this morning. My calves were sore from Saturdays run. Time to set new goals for 2012. I am going to go after one of my big goals this year and complete a 100 miler. | | Comments(2) |

| It finally snowed. I had planned on running to Sessions Mountain this morning, but when I saw the snow I decided to change plans. I ran the Wild Rose Trail. I made fresh track all the way up. Instead of coming down the same route, I ran down the ridge past the radio towers. Then I headed back along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. I passed a lady who was out walking her dog. Since there was only one sets of tracks in the snow, I'll bet she was wondering "Where did he come from?" It was a great run this morning. I love running in the snow. | | Comments(3) |

| Headed uphill today. I was hoping to make it to Cave Peak, but didn't have enough time. Which was probably good because there was a cold wind this morning. | | Comments(3) |

| I didn't have a lot of time this morning, so I just did a quick loop on the Wild Rose Trail. The trail had soft packed snow for the entire route. It felt great. | | Add Comment |

| Mueller Park Trail. Wet, Wet, Wet. When I started the run it was raining, and it rained the entire time. I got completely soaked. I was hoping that as I got higher in elevation that it would turn to snow, but that was not the case. The trail was soft packed snow for the first two miles, then got a bit sloppy for the next half a mile. At 2.7 miles, all other tracks stopped. I wanted to go to Elephant Rock so I headed on. The next .75 miles to the rock was knee deep snow. At the rock, I turned around and headed back through the snow. Running in knee deep snow in January while getting rained on. Is that dedication or complete insanity? The rain really destroyed the trail. The rest of the run back to the car was a sloppy mess. Despite the weather, I still love that trail. | | Comments(1) |

| Wild Rose Trail. Cold and clear this morning. I was the only one on the trail today. The upper portion of the trail had very few tracks and was slow going. | | Comments(2) |
