| Tonight's run wasn't intended to be a 5k distance, it just turned out that way. I went to the Centerville Trailhead of Legacy Parkway. I ran south because I wanted to check out the new trail that links the Legacy Parkway Trail to the Jordan River Trail. The new trail is great. I like it much better than the Legacy Trail. It is actually scenic. Avg pace - 9:49 | | Comments(2) |

Bonneville Shoreline Trail. It was super windy this morning. I felt like I was going to blow off of the trail. I was hoping the ground would be frozen, but it was muddy instead. It should dry out soon through. Avg pace - 11:47 | | Comments(3) |

| Wild Rose Trail. A mile and a half doesn't sound like much, but you'll have to be patient with me as I ease back into things. Avg pace - 15:20 | | Comments(1) |

| Since I was on the injured list this winter, I didn't get much of a chance to run in the snow. Mother Nature must be having pity on me, because the snow is coming down tonight. I headed out to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. It was covered with a nice white blanket. I don't know why, but I love running on a trail with 2 inches of fresh snow on it. It was 8:30 p.m. but I didn't need my headlamp. The lights in the valley reflected off of the snow and lit up the whole area. The best part was that it continued snowing during the entire run. I can't wait for tomorrow's run. Avg pace - 12:01 | | Add Comment |

| 5:30 a.m. Mueller Park Trail. I made fresh tracks in the snow this morning. There was about six inches at the trailhead. The snow was wet and heavy, so there were a lot of low hanging branches that I had to avoid. The was one tree that looked like it might have fallen down from this storm. At the point where I turned around the snow was about a foot deep. Avg pace - 18:10 | | Comments(4) |

| I attempted to run/hike to Cave Peak this morning. The lower part of the trail was great, but as I got higher, the snow got deeper. The trail was difficult to follow and I ended heading up the wrong way. I made up to a smaller summit that was just south of Cave Peak. I was sinking past my knees at this point so I decided not to go all the way. It's hard to believe that there is that much snow up there this time of year.
