Fresh snow today. It snowing hard when I stated today but cleared up about 15 minutes into the run. It started snowing hard again towards the end of my run, but stopped when I finished. Normal weather for Utah.

I wanted to run some hills today. I ran up to the Bountiful Temple. I ran past the temple and down to 13 East. I then headed up to the "B" on the mountain. I turned around at the "B" and headed back. I didn't make the ascent up to the temple on the way back because I was short on time, instead I just headed home.

Today I ran on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail up to the radio towers, dropped into City Creek, and went up City Creek Canyon about a mile, then turn around went back the way I came.

The trail up to the radio towers is a jeep trail and is mostly clear of snow. It was early in the morning and the ground was frozen. The trail was very hard packed. From the radio towers down to City Creek the trail is single track and had losts of snow still. There were only a few tracks through the snow and on the shadow side of the hills the snow was about 6 inches deep. As I got close to City Creek the trail clear up and stayed mostly clear up the canyon. The trail up City Creek Canyon parallels a road that can be seem from time to time. I saw 4 other runners on the road, but only one other fool like me running on the trail.

I saw 10 deer on my run today. I invited them to join me for a run, but they had their own agenda.
