 I ran on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in North Salt Lake. I had to cut it short because my right knee was acting up a bit.

No more oranges on those knees.

Bummer. Is it that same nagging problem you've been dealing with on and off for a couple of years now?

Woohooo Twinkies! Nice work today in that chilly weather!

Burt - I haven't tried orange on my knees yet, but I have tried black, blue, pink, and lime green.

Jun - Yes, it's the same issue. I have been dealing with it for twelve years now. Some days are better than others.

Lily - 14 degrees is not cold.

Nice. Have you broke out the snowshoes? I tried it out the other day....pretty fun! Good luck with the knee.

Rye - I haven't used the snowshoes yet. I was going to use them today, but decided not to. I guess I am waiting for a good storm to dump lots of fresh snow.
