Man it was cold this morning! And windy! Footing wasn't great. I did feel alive.

I aspired to run this morning.  Circumstances dictated otherwise.

Slow getting out the door this morning, so only time for a short run around the Avenues and Memory Grove.  It was quite cold, 11 degrees, but I was dressed for it so it wasn't bad.

When I got dressed to run this morning, I planned to head up on to the Shoreline trail for a little snow run, and a chance to test my new micro-spikes.  Once I got on the road to head up to the trail, however, I realized that the roads were pretty dry and that it would be good to take advantage of that while I could.  So, I ditched the spikes under a bush and ran a loop out beyond  Sunnyside to 900 So. and back through the U.  Picked up the spikes on the way home.

It was 8 degrees, but it didn't feel too cold since there was no wind and I was dressed warm enough.

So, it was 6 degrees out this morning, the coldest all week.  But I dressed well and had a nice run around Federal Heights, Avenues, and Memory Grove. I think I saw Adam RW on 11th Ave but he was running in the opposite direction and so bundled up that it was hard to tell.  The coldest part was running toward the mouth of City Creek canyon; there was a steady wind blowing out of the canyon and I thought my chin was going to freeze and break off my face. It didn't, fortunately.

This morning was the Third Annual Holladay Holiday 10 Miler -- an officially unofficial "race" and general excuse to run with a bunch of friends and have a good time.  This morning we had about 35 runners, which I think is the most in race history.  So what was there? Well, there were multiple costumes, some mildly inappropriate. There were people wearing random race numbers from other actual races. There was a cowbell start.  There was a tricky course that was well-marked but required some detailed knowledge of the backroads and neighborhoods of Holladay.  There was my buddy Sam, who graciously hosts the event and sets the tone for everything good about the event.  There was Josh, Adam and Fritz -- three runners that could seriously hurt me if this were an actual race. There was much frolicking and, as Josh would say, "slap and tickle."  There were many motorists inconvenienced by our merry bunch.  There was the traditional kick to the finish line, running backwards. There was an awesome apres run spread at Sam's house. It was a good time. I hope we continue to grow this little tradition.
