Finally broke the slump caused by poor air, freezing rain and lack of

motivation. Ran to mouth of Green Canyon and back. Snowed all the time.

Up 1200 E, thru N. Logan and back on 1600E. Light to moderate snow, a bit wet and started to ice up on way back but pleasant and good air quality. Mondo hill on 3400N - remembered that I should have been in a seminar - playing hooky felt good though! 85.5 mins - time not great but trying to lay in a base. Enjoyable run.

USU to Substation in Green Canyon. Lovely day and the Sun even poked through the clouds - 32 degrees so it felt like summer!

Tired today - want to do a long run this weekend so decided to work on the premise that a short run is better than a no run - 1700 N loop - easy direction...sunny but felt cold. Decided I prefer temps above 32 than below...

Well, easy miles is a misnomer but they didn't fit into any of the other categories. Really cold but sunny - 15 degrees - air quality not horrible but not great either. USU -> Parking Lot in Green Canyon then to end of 1600 East in N. Logan and back to USU on 1200E. 121 minutes so 11 min. miles - but reasonably happy with this week, got some consistency and today the run felt like I could have pushed for 13 but the gym closes at 5 on Saturdays and I didn't have time. Rest day tomorrow......
