| Wild Rose Trail. Beautiful day this morning. The trail was great for two miles, then got a bit choppy. It just doesn't get enough traffic higher up during the winter. There were more deer tracks on the trail than human tracks. I also saw one set of cougar tracks. | | Comments(3) |

| Bonneville Shoreline Trail. The moon was bright this morning. I almost didn't need the head lamp. Unfortunately, my name was not drawn for the Wasatch 100. I guess I'll have to enter some of the other fun races around here. | | Comments(4) |

| Treadmill. I recently bought a pair of Vibram Five Fingers. Tried them out on the treadmill. Felt great. I hope it improves my running form. | | Add Comment |

| Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Fresh snow. Since we have had a severe lack of snow this season, I haven't been able to run on snow as much as I would like. Today showed that my snow muscles are week. Hopefully we get more snow. | | Comments(4) |

| Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Fresh snow to run on again. Most of it was easy running with only a few inches of snow. There was one section that was about a half mile long that was drifted in and was about a foot deep. | | Comments(2) |

| Skyline Dr. The road was bare for the first 1.6 miles and then it was hard pack snow the rest of the way. The wind was really rough today. I am glad that I wasn't running to a mountain top. This week has been a good week for me. I only missed one day of running. | | Comments(1) |

| Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Today I ran up passed the radio towers then headed north. I came down a little known ridgeline trail that I don't know the name of. It met up with the Wild Rose Trail, which I ran down and made my way back to my car on the roads. It was a great loop for a Monday morning. | | Comments(1) |

| This morning I ran the Sessions Mountain Trail across from the Bountiful Temple. For those unfamiliar with this trail, it is an uphill grind. The average elevation gain is 19%. The hill was slow and the snow didn't help either. I made it up 1.5 miles before it was too deep and I turned around. When I got back down, I had some time left so I ran up Hobrook Canyon 1 mile. After running up the mountain, the canyon seemed like an easy run. Total elevation gain for the run was 2541 ft. | | Add Comment |
