Was planning on getting out early with Larry, Wayne, and Paul but the late bedtime from the night before combined with the cold morning stopped me and kept me in bed. I did get out a couple of hours later for 5 miles with Dash. Dash was certainly excited and we had a good run along the canal.

Flat Lindon route in new snow. Got out just a few minutes too late so I ran the course with Dash. The snow through Lindon Park was really beautiful and peaceful with the freshly fallen snow where I was making the only visible prints.

Made it up City Creek and down by the Capitol on a lunch run. The course was mostly clear from the weekend's snow fall but had a few hardpacked snowy areas. Temps in the mid 30s with sunshine almost felt balmy by comparison to morning runs in the teens.

Larry, Wayne, Paul and I worked our way down to Wil's then back up to the mouth of the canyon. Wayne and Paul pushed ahead and went on up to the fountain. Larry and I ran back home with Dash and Ozzie. Dash seemed to be loving it even though it was a rather cold wind blowing out of the canyon.

2000 North Route through Lindon with Larry, Paul and Dash. Seemed like an extra slow run even tho' temps were in the 30s.

Great job on the hill mileage! There are a lot of Hills in Lindon. I would like to run from St Street to the top of 2000 N one day! That would be a great Hill to train on. Good job on getting out in this cold weather.
