Today I decided to try a run on the roads. I haven't done much road running this year. It felt good but was a bit boring. Trails are much funner. I actually did a bit of a workout today instead of just running, which is what I normally do. I ran 6 miles with 2 one mile intervals at about marathon pace or just a bit faster.

Bonneville Shoreline Trail. I headed out at 5 a.m. today. It was very quiet out today. Just the sound of my footsteps and my breathing. It snowed lightly during most of the run. I tried out my new headlamp today. It has three different brightness setting and worked great. My old headlamp didn't have a strap across the top and would slide down as I ran. The trail was nice today with only a little snow on it and a few muddy spots. Avg pace: 9:51

Happy Halloween!!

Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Same route as yesterday. It was warmer today which made me sweat more. The trail was also more muddy. there was a section of the trail that had clay-like mud that would stick to the bottom of my shoes. I saw three dear on my run today. One doe with two bambi's. They didn't seem to care that I was running by and let me get within about 15 feet from them.

I wanted to run longer but didn't have time today. I am baptizing my oldest son today.
