Early morning run. Some alone, some with Kim, the some more alone. Liking the mid-30s temps. Need to start ramping up the miles a bit.

Up bright & early to run with Kim,  Carolyn, and Chad. Sure nice to be able to run in a single layer in December. Temps in the mid-40's with a couple teaser drops of rain that never developed into anything. Quite nice actually.

Five relaxing miles in the early morning. Nice pleasant temps in the 40's.

Got up at the regular time (around 5:30) but didn't actually start running until just before 8 as decided to make the drive to Antelope Island to join in on the Buffalo Run training run. Quite the perfect weather with temps in the 40's making shorts and shirt just dandy. Gotta love that in December I doubt it will last much longer. Saw some buffalo and enjoyed the run and scenery. The lake looked amazing, smooth as glass. Only downer was the face-plant I did a mile and a half before the end. Seemed to have survived it without life threatening injuries.

Nice run. Still pretty warm. Rained during the night but held off during the run.

Morning run with the gang. Feeling a little tweak in  my right hip, need to keep a close watch on that.

Went to Herriman and ran with the great Wan Ho and gang. Felt good the first half but the later miles were tough. Not sure what the problem was but glad to get in the miles and get er done for the day and the week.

Went out with Kim on a cold, sloppy road run. Felt pretty sluggish.

So Kim and I had a nice adventure this morning in St George. Plan was to run the Bearclaw Poppy trail 11 mile loop that I had done once before. But made the decision to run it in the reverse direction than usual so that we would be in town while it was still dark. Ended up getting lost in the middle of nowhere. 11 miles turned into over 18 with some pretty rough terrain at times. Very relieved to finally run into another runner and figure out where the heck we were! Actually I thought it was kind of fun. Not sure if Kim would agree.

Went out with Kim again on the same route we got lost on Saturday. But this time everything went fine. Can't figure out why we got so messed up on Sat. I quite enjoy this loop route.
