I ran at 9800 so parktrail this morning at 6 am with Danielle. First 2 miles were ok and then it snowed into our faces We made it to the turn around and then came back and it got alot better. Our conversation was depressing from all the layoffs going on around here. I had a bunch of equipment stolen on a job site over the weekend, around $20,000 dollars worth and found that my insurance will help out with about 3,000 to reimburse. God bless our insurance companies! NOT! Im so sick of spending close to 2,000 dollars a month for something I must pay for and then get the shaft like this! In Six months I could put that money into my company and make up for my loss. That is depressing. Back to running--I was happy to run even in the most extreme situations. I cant wait till im back to full strength. I was amazed at the end of our run of how flexible Danielle was. I think my new years resolution will be to have more flexibility.

Was going to go try 3 this morning but the alarm didnt wake me. I can usually wake up without the alarm but not this morning. I  was out of it! Then I saw the temps outside and was not even ashamed of my mishap.

Got up to daybreak to run with Danielle. We immediately got hit by a snow storm. We started running away from the snow and had to run into it for 4 of the miles. It luckily let up a bit but was in our faces! At mile 2 we were rushed by two dogs that werent on a leash and it was a big scare. I froze and they hit Danielle and it was pretty scary. The owners of the dogs were running also and they were big boxer dogs and didnt even respond to their owners. It made me mad but not as mad as Danielle. She was yelling at the owner to take responsibility and keep them on a leash. I think it woke us up for sure! I just not a dog person. I like them but could never own one. Our soggy run ended up running 7+ miles.

Heres a picture out my front window of the white stuff I only like to see in the mountains, not on my streets!

I helped my brother prep his house for paint yesterday and I think I did too much! I woke up this morning at 5:15 and was planning on running with Scott and Kelli and when  I stood up I was in alot of pain. I stewed it over because I didnt want to be a flake so I decided to take it easy. Sorry for standing you guys up. ;)  I dont know why I do these things in a time where I cant afford to help family out. But oh well, life goes on.

Its begining to look alot like Christmas! Everywhere I run! 

 So I went to the start of the park trail at 123rd and ran south 4 miles and there were alot of deer crossing in front of us. I ran with Danielle and Misty and Charity ran together. The snow was about 2-4 inches thick and the bridges were about 8-10 inches thick.  It wasnt too bad until mile 3.5 on when we got cilose to Bluffdale we had to post hole run, when you sink and lift. Wow what a workout that was. My legs are thrashed. With a quarter mile to go I left Danielle and tried to run a solid 6 min mile pace or so and it hurt like h e double hockey sticks! Theres no speed workouts planned for me for a while.  Ran 8 miles total. Saw alot of wildlife, and Snowmobile and atv tracks. My feet are soaking wet, Ironically im going to go take a shower. See ya
