Shirt graphic: fueled by: Punk Rock, Diet Dr Pepper, and Body Dysmorphia
Guess what finally arrived?! The replacement for the shirt that bravely sacrificed itself when I tripped during the Salt Lake Foothills 50k/Half Marathon. Honestly, what happened to the shirt was the least of my concerns that day! So glad to have this new one.

Please support me as I join the "no running" challenge. My last run in February will be on the 28th. I won't run again until March 1st.

This year, the weather has been very mild where I've been running. I haven't shoveled a single flake of snow, yet.
It was actually cooler than normal this morning as I embarked on a new training schedule. Time to start training for this year's ultra-marathons.

No matter how good I feel about the race, there will always be someone pushing a stroller outperforming me.

Most of the run was through snow, but micro spikes and the asphalt makes it feel and sound like I'm running in tap shoes.

I can find reasons to enjoy all the weather. Prepare for your outing and the weather becomes just another piece of the puzzle.
I was supposed to go for an ‘easy’ run. After realizing I’d been pushing too hard, I let up for the last two miles.

Funny thing. I had Gortex shoes and yaktrax when I probably didn't really need it yesterday, during a race. It turned out to be more of a hindrance than a benefit.
This morning, I could have really used those tools to make my run easier.

A couple thoughts, today, from a very cold, icy, snowy 5k event.
Wearing winter shoes and yaktrax, I was only about a minute slower than my goal finish time.
I love seeing the kids at these events.

This morning on the training schedule: Tempo Run.
Mostly, I struggle to get my pacing right. I go out too hard at the start of races. My run this morning was something like that. By the time I finished, I was out of energy and frustrated.

I few pictures from the Winter Trail Fest event this morning.

I hit the trails above Park City for the Winter Trail Fest this morning. I kept with my strategy. I wasn't going to push harder than my spikes would let me go. No reason to waste energy on slipping backwards.
