I got up early to meet Amy and AndyB for a run up City Creek Canyon.  We had a little trouble getting together due to accidents on I-15 and my inferior communication skills.  Once we hit the canyon all was well.  Amy was a rockstar and hung with the boys.  Andy never broke a sweat, and I had solid effort.  We couldn't get to the top of the road due to deep snow, around 2'.  I didn't want to flounder for the next 1/2 mile falling through the crust, so we turned around and enjoyed descending from 6100'.

Usually I have to go skiing to see scenery that beautiful.  I didn't expect to be running in 3" of snow one day before May.  I'm glad I was. 

My legs still aren't right.  I'm will continue to take it easier this week and let nature do it's thing.  I don't want the medical people getting involved if I can avoid it.  But scraping sounds kind of nice. 

 p.m. 6 hours core, upperbody and cross training with lawnmower, trimmer and edger.

Sounds like a gorgeous run. Weird to be in winter surroundings that late in the season but probably felt great. What's up with the legs?

you can avoid the medical people as long as you possess thumbs. it's all about the thumbs.

nice run -- i bet the air was very fresh up there!
