Mueller Park Trail.

I'm getting back at it. I have been taking some time off, but want to get running again. The trail was great this morning. I saw lots of other runners. They were probably trying to get in one last run before the snow hits. My time up was 43 minutes and down was 27 minutes. Not too shabby considering my lack of training.

Wild Rose Trail.

There was fresh snow this morning. It made the trails nice and soft.

 I tried out my yaktrax for the first time this year. They worked great. I didn't slip at all.

Kenny Creek Trail

I lost one of my yaktrax up there somewhere. I will have to run this again soon and see if I can find it.

Today I pieced together several trails and a little bit of pavement into an awesome 7 mile loop run.

Kenney Creek Trail

I trekked up through the snow today. I was hoping to find my yaktrax that I lost 2 weeks ago, but there was way too much snow. I made it up a little over two miles. At that point I was sinking in past my knees and lost track of the trail. The run down was a blast as always.

Merry Christmas everyone.

North Canyon trail

The snow just keeps coming. The trail started about 8 inches deep and was about 2 feet deep when I turned around. Killer workout.
