Highland Alpine loop from my house:

I took advantage of a small window of good weather on this very wet Sunday. I had to shed my jacket after mile two because it was so warm. Blasted some good ol hits from the eighties on my ipod and got it done.

Ave Twins from I Street with MattW:

This run was weird. We started with sun and warm temps and finished with cold weather, snow and sleet. We both wore shorts and felt great until we popped out onto the ridge. We have been taking a slightly longer route to the Twins from the BST and I really like it because there is more running. The summit ridge and peaks were COLD, so we weren't up there long. The view was great though with no inversion or gunky air. We were both pretty cold when we got off the ridge and then the snow started falling for the last 10 minutes and it was crazy becuse the rest of the valley was pretty clear without clouds. The trail was extremely sloppy today. Slush and mud.

Ave Twins and City Creek Canyon run with Tara, MattW, MVH, Craig and Jennilyn:

 

This was a very fun group and we had a sweet run up to the Ave Twin Peaks. Oh wait, it was sweet after we made it through the first half mile of really icy conditions on the trail. At one point I had to hang onto Matt Williams as he assisted me over the solid ice. We enjoyed some really good chatting and laughs and hit the peaks where we enjoyed the view and a few more laughs. On the run back down I broke out my spikes and let Tara wear them until we hit the real icy stuff and then she kindly gave me one back and we both made it all the way down without ending up on our butts. I'm not sure how we did it. I was planning on a double with Jennilyn, but she didn't want to go back up the choppy trail, so after changing my shoes and eating some chocolate chip cookies, we took off back up the road.

The run up the canyon road was actually a lot of fun and we held a steady running pace about 5 miles up. The road wasn't plowed beyond that point and the track in the snow was really bad, so we just turned around and ran back down the canyon to the cars. We had some good conversation and had a great time.
