| It's good to be back home and run trails again. I have been out of the country on business travel for the last few weeks. I went to Cairo, Egypt and Masirah, Oman. This morning I ran on the Wild Rose Trail. There was a thin layer of fresh snow. No one else had been out yet, so I got to make first tracks. The wind was little cold when I got started, but I warmed up quickly. It was a good run to get things going again. | | Comments(2) |

| Mueller Park Trail. 5:30 a.m. 14 degrees. This was my first time on this trail since the big wind storm that came through. I was a bit surprised by how many trees had fallen down. But I was even more surprised by how many had been cleaned up and cleared off the trail. There were only four threes that still laid across the trail. The snow on the trail this morning was perfect. It made for great traction and a smooth run. These are the kind of conditions one can only experience by running in below freezing temps. I made it up to Elephant Rock in 45:39. I ate a frozen shot blok and then headed back down. Down time was just under 32 minutes. Not real fast this morning but it felt great. | | Comments(6) |

| I was going to run first thing in the morning, but decided to wait until it was a little warmer. Turned out that I didn't get out until 5:30 p.m. when it was getting cold again. It still warming than on Christmas Eve. | | Add Comment |

| I headed north out of town. I was moving at a good pace and it felt very comfortable. I didn't realize that I had a slight tail wind pushing me along. When I turned around, the tailwind turned into a head wind. My easy pace was no longer comfortable. I stayed strong and pushed through the head wind the entire way back. | | Comments(2) |

| Mueller Park Trail. I was supposed to run this with Craig and Matt this morning, but we had some miscommunications. Ended up running by myself. The trail was icy in spots, which made it challenging. This my sound funny, but it needs more snow. The temperature was perfect and I took off my gloves and headband because I didn't need them. All of the fallen trees have now been cleared out. Thank you to all the workers and volunteers who cleaned up the trail. | | Add Comment |

| Mueller Park Loop. On Thursday, I ran the Mueller Park Trail and noticed that there was not a lot of snow on it. Today I decided to run the full loop. I started at my house which is three miles from the trailhead. I made it up to Elephant Rock in 1:22. Above Elephant Rock the trail was hard pack and very runnable. Near the top the snow got soft and I was post holing. I made it up to Rudy's Flat in 2:10. It was just starting to get light outside. The run down North Canyon was nice hard packed snow. At the end of the trail is a dirt road. The road was extremely icy. Probably the worst I have ever seen it. I was slipping and sliding all over the place, but never fell down. I made it back home in just under three hours. Not a bad time for a winter loop. | | Comments(1) |
