Weights at the gym for an hour working my upper body/core. The gym was really stinky tonight. Smelled like clams mixed with BO.

After working with the meatheads I hit the track for some fast miles. I ran the first 4 at 7:30ish pace and then the last two at about 7:00. Yeah, that is fast for me. I actually enjoyed it.

Mt. Wire X 2 with Je10 and CragL:

Started lap one with Je10. We didn't push it very hard and enjoyed a nice chat all the way up. The mountain was enveloped with clouds, but there were a few windows where you could see some hints of the valley below. The summit ridge and peak were pretty cold, so we didn't stay up there long. Down George's Hollow. It was snowy, rocky and slippery on the way down, so I went pretty slow. We had a great chat and I really enjoyed lap #1.

We got down to the trailhead and Craig was supposed to meet me there, but he was running late, so I left to get a quick bite to eat and met him about 40 minutes later where we started lap #2. We didn't push the pace very hard, but we still hit the summit in 45 minutes. The clouds had all burned off and the views were much better up there this time, but it was more windy and a lot colder, so we didn't even stop. We went back down George's Hollow, but took a different trail that took us over into Red Butte where we ran the Red Butte loop. It was a bit muddy in a few spots and we certainly weren't fast, but eventually we made our way back to the BST and then back to the trailhead. It was a really fun day with good friends on the trails.

I walked about 4 miles with my son Alec and his friend trick-or-treating. I had a blast making them run from house to house and cracking the whip. He came home with 7 lbs of candy for his efforts. Great time.

Ave Twins with MattVH:

Met MVH at the Capitol building at 5:30 for a run up City Creek Canyon to the Ave Twin Peaks. This is one of my go to training runs during the winter when there is a lot of snow on the higher peaks. The trail is 100% runnable, although Matt and I were pretty slow today. We both weren't feeling great, so there wasn't much speed, but we bad a blast laughing and talking all the way up. When we neared the ridge that leads to the summit we saw a green light ahead on the trail. Davy Crockett? He doesn't run up here. We did push it hard to catch up to them and it was a couple of deer hunters that didn't look very happy to see us.

We hit both peaks and it was windy and cold up there. I took a quick gel and we bailed fast. The run down was slow, but fun. Great views, good laughs and some sweet miles on single track trail.
