Mueller Park Trail. 5:30 a.m. 14 degrees. This was my first time on this trail since the big wind storm that came through. I was a bit surprised by how many trees had fallen down. But I was even more surprised by how many had been cleaned up and cleared off the trail. There were only four threes that still laid across the trail. The snow on the trail this morning was perfect. It made for great traction and a smooth run. These are the kind of conditions one can only experience by running in below freezing temps. I made it up to Elephant Rock in 45:39. I ate a frozen shot blok and then headed back down. Down time was just under 32 minutes. Not real fast this morning but it felt great.

Welcome back to America. It's great to see you out hitting the trails like old times. What are your plans next week? You should come check out our run on Ann's trail up to View Benchmark Peak.

Twinkies glad that you are back and running! Are you staying home for Christmas? If you are heading to IF make sure to drop me a line. We. can run up sunnyside or something. Merry Christmas!

Craig - I am in Idaho right now but will be back home on Wednesday. I don't have to work next week, and it would be great to get a run in with you.

Steam8 - Tis the season.

Rye - I am at my parents in Newdale this year. I don't know if we will make it down to IF or not.

Great to see you out and about! :) I was just thinking about Mueller Park, I need to run that one of these days - I love it in the winter.

Maybe we can run on Thursday - eh, Jun? I'll be down there then.

Dorsimus - Thursday works for me. Let's plan on it.
