16 miles with Daniel and then 4 more on my own at the Horse Park. Daniel and I ran from his house to Temple Square and then back up. Lots of climbing. My car said it was 19 degrees when we started. Brrrr! Pace was nice and slow. 7:40 AP.

I met my friend Jordan at 6:00 am and we drove up Millcreek to Church Fork. We ran/power hiked up Grandeur Peak. Wow...it was beautiful! We watched the sunrise, snapped some pics and ran down. There was snow on pretty much the whole trail but it wasn't too slippery. After Jordan dropped me off at my car, I ran along Wasatch to get some more miles in. I ran into Tom Fletcher and his crew and ran with them for about 3 miles. They were pushing it so we ran sub 7:00 pace. By the time I turned around and ran back to my car I was at 8.5 miles. I should have taken a gu because I was tired.

PS- I think I'm becoming a trail runner. I love it.

6 easy recovery miles. The weather has been so dreary this week. I'm missing those bright blue skies. I'm excited for tomorrow!

15 miles along the JRPW. I ran into Papa Price (my high school running daddy) and he said my hamstrings looked fantastic. Ha ha! Then I got stopped by an old guy who said I was crazy for wearing shorts but I had the nicest legs he'd ever seen. Wow, I could barely run back home because my head was so big and full of leg compliments. 7:15 AP.

I am running/hiking Grandeur Peak on Saturday so I did my long run earlier in the week.

4 miles up the BC trail and then a little tempo on the way back down. I kept it under 7:40 on the way up and 6:35-6:45 on the way down. My legs are still a little sore from Monday so I didn't push too hard. I passed a guy on the way down who got really upset that I passed him so he picked up his pace to try to catch back up with me. Needless to say, he didn't catch me. Chicked!

Super windy today! 9 miles through Holladay. I am so sore from P90X yesterday. But I love being sore...it means improvements are happening!

Later AM: 55 minutes of Max Interval Plyo P90X.

15 miles with Emily. It's been too long since we've run together. We ran a couple Wheeeler Farm loops with my Holladay loop added on. Lots of running therapy today. It was great. My running friends are the best. 7:14 AP

8 miles in the dark. Almost got hit by two cars. You'd think my reflective vest with flashing led lights would be enough... Guess not. Defensive running is a must these days.

PM: 60 minute spin in my backyard while it was raining. I needed to clear some demons in my legs and head.

10 miles with Daniel on Pipeline. Still super gorgeous up Millcreek. We discussed chocolate milk and religion. The last quarter mile before the turn around point climbed 300 feet. It was steep. Pretty sure Daniel is a mountain goat because he climbed it no problem.

16 miles with Daniel. We ran from his house in Millcreek over to Sugar House, Sunnyside, up pass the zoo, Immigration (saw two coyotes and John Kotter), behind the zoo, Foothill, across Parley's and back down. Lots of hills. Daniel is an awesome hill runner. I was sucking air and he was talking like he was on a leisurely stroll. I'm hoping to hit some trails with him later this week. Super fun run and the sunrise was so gorgeous we stopped and took a mental picture (click).

8 miles around Wheeeeler Farm. I thought I saw the fox...ended up being a kitty cat. Another glorious fall morning.
