PM - after a pretty good day of skiing - 8 miles on the treadmill at the hotel - too snowy slick and dark (I was too tired) to venture outside again late this afternoon.

AM - nice run with Rob at Jeremy Ranch road.  Nice at least for the first half...second part of the second half was a bit of a challenge for me.  It was an adjustment issue for me coming from sea level, and running up the rollers, into the wind and stinging snow in my face, also following a full day of skiing yesterday.  In fairness, I had planned only 10-12 miles, but was feeling ok and thought I was up to it when the prospect of the full out and back was suggested.  Would have been good for 10. Rob was good company and nearly giddy at the prospect of being able to run on this road in the winter time.  The packed snow was similar in comparison to running on a beach with hard-packed sand.  Views were really awesome and the wildlife sighting of the bald eagles was cool.  

Hot tub following the run was awesome, Jake.  :)

Zero running - but a full day of skiing with the family and then hot tub and a great dinner in Park City for Christmas Eve.  Bistro 412.  Thumbs-up.

PM - Headed out for a run a little after noon and decided a bit of an explorer/adventure run was in the cards.  Got on the McLoed Creek trail near Quarry Mountain and headed north - really nice day out and the trail was completely snow-covered.  Lots of folks out cross country skiing.  Wildlife sighting - red fox.  Pretty cool.  Ran on the trail to Old Ranch Road and followed it to a trail head parking area which I think connects to Trailside Park on the otherside of the mountain.  Not sure.  Anyway, ran a bit more hoping I would find a road to loop me back to the Canyons, but did not see any - so circled back.  Great scenery - though still quite chilly

AM - quite cold run with Rob the local historian and tour guide.  Took me to the town of Midway and we ran out to Soldiers Hollow and back.  7.5 miles.  Good run. Adjusting better to the altitude.  Thanks for the conversation and the local flavor Rob.  Best way to see a place is by going out for a run.  Even better to do it with old friends.

No running - travel day back from Utah - and too much going on.

PM - 10 miles easy in the late afternoon.  Muggy, buggy warm and humid.  Literally 60 degrees warmer at home than it was in Park City.
