SSDD, including the controlled fall and slide in the same spot as last week.  Seesh.

3:25 total time.  I had to stop for a bit and warm up my hands.  It wasn't that cold today and I'm not sure why they got cold.

Another long mountain trail run!?! How FUN! Perhaps your hands got cold today b/c of the humidity in the air?

You were on the trail a long time. Did you carry fuel and fluid?

Nice to be up above it all! Do you have to drive there, or is the trail head close to your house.

I hadn't thought about the humidity. Maybe that did have something to do with it.

Lucky for me the several trail heads are very close. The closest being just a few blocks.... out house backs to vacant land and there is just one street beyond that.

Man, how cool would that be to have trailheads so close to home? Nice run

This spring I'm going to try and run a trail at least once per week. perhaps the BST. I better pull out the trail map so I know where it is around here.

Are you going to do that off road adventure marathon where you got lost last year again this year? You seem to really love running in the mountains and are good at it. Heck you even have the "controlled fall and slide" thing down.

From fly on the Wall on Sat, Jan 16, 2010 at 12:25:25 from 166.70.192.189

Yes I did have fuel and fluid.

Don, There are sure to be some great trails up your way. You are kind of close to Antelope Island as well as the Wasatch aren't you?

Rhett, I leave for vacation February 10 and return at the end of the month. So the 1st or 2nd of March I'll be figuring out my race a training for spring and summer. Till then I'm just having fun and goofing off, running wise.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!!

Nice miles (and controlled fall and slide). :)

My mind has just drawn a blank --- Are you running Painters?

From montelepsy on Sun, Jan 17, 2010 at 14:40:37 from 155.85.58.253

SSDD?

From fly on the Wall on Sun, Jan 17, 2010 at 20:19:46 from 166.70.192.189

I'm not running Painter's. My kids are in ski school this month and I don't want to miss what I've already paid for. We are skiing in January instead of Feb because in Feb we are heading further south then St. G.

What all of this means is that I probably won't finish the runner's series and will be forced into the lotto for St. George. But I've wanted to run the Boise Marathon (same day as St. G) so that is plan b....

"SSDD" same "stuff" different day. I'm in a rut.

From Huans32 on Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 08:53:45 from 138.64.8.51

Oh no. We dont like ruts. Looks like we need to plan another run together. This coming weekend I am at painters. So after that we can run whenever you would like.

Sounds good to me Mark!
