PM - from the Canyons - out toward Park City on the McLeod Creek Trail which was mostly snow and ice covered, making for a bit of a slow, cautious pace and cold!

AM - had a really interesting run with Rob Murphy this morning who was kind enough to pick me up from the Canyons and to act as a sort of running sightseeing guide in a little jaunt up City Creek Canyon.  Had some difficulty in the climb with the altitude, coming from sealevel, but it gave me a few opportunities to stop and shoot some photos and chat.  Once the road got a bit too snowy and icy we turned around and then Rob took me around the Capital building and inside and the through a tour of town including the Temple Plaza.  Very cool run and a great way to finish up a quick few days in Utah with my family on a ski vacation.  Nice to see you again Rob - give my best to your family and have a Merry Christmas.

PM - long overnight flight home from Utah yesterday and then straight to work left me unmotivated to run.  I awoke this morning with a cold - probably my first one in quite some time.  Anyway, sometimes a run makes me feel a little better when I have a cold, but my run at lunchtime in 82 degree weather pretty much drained me.  Gonna just veg and watch Christmas movies the rest of the afternoon while my wife bakes and wraps presents with my girls.
