I ran on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail today. There was 2 to 4 inches of snow on most of the trail. I love running in fresh snow. The first I half of the run felt a little slow, but during the second half I felt great. Perhaps next week I will break out the snowshoes.

Happy New Year!!!

I went to Draper this morning and ran with Mary Ann, Craig, and Soren on the Porter Rockwell trail. The trail had some snow on it but was mostly clear. We ran the course of the New Years Day 5k, but I didn't stick around for the race. It was a great way to start the year.

This afternoon we took the kids bowling. They did great and I bowled a 70. Typical for me.

Since it's a new year, it's time for some new goals. My number one goal for this year is to keep my pain level low enough that I can get out of bed and run. This year I also want to qualify for Boston. I plan to do that at the Mesa Falls Marathon in August. I also want to run to the top of Bountiful Peak. This was on my list of things to do last year, but I never made it. Other than that, I just want to discover some new trails and make some more running friends. I will probably go on some wild adventures this year, but I haven't set specific goals for that.

2011 is going to be one exciting year.
