I took today off from work because of the new baby. My mother came down to help out, so this afternoon I was able to head out for a run. I ran the Mueller Park Trail. Today was a day for settings records. I set a new personal best for my fastest ascent to Elephant Rock in the Winter. I made it up in 35:16 (10:22 per mile). That is normally a great time during the Summer. I also made it down in record time. Only 23:37 (6:56 per mile). I'm not sure what it was that made me run so fast today, but I liked it.

Fresh snow. I had to take advantage of it. I grabbed my snowshoes and hit the trail. The was only a skiff of snow at my house, but at the Mueller park trail there was lots of snow. There was about 2 inches at the base and 4 to 6 inches as I got up higher. The snowshoes worked great on the fresh powder. It is a killer workout. I was short on time and it started snowing really hard, so I only made it up two miles. This Saturday I am going to do it again and go all the way to elephant rock on snowshoes.
