Another wonderful day on the road! Went out in sub 32 degrees weather that was foggy and smoggy where I didn't see the sunshine! Just another Mountain (hill) training run to get me ready for Boston and my next two marathons.

This mountain training run was a 10.5 miler up Dimple Dell Road and down Wasatch Blvd. The run starts at 4799 foot in elevation and climbs 431 vertical feet to 5230 feet at 5.5 miles out. Then it drops 431 vertical feet in 5 miles on my return to the start. The incline, like the decline is at an average of 6% grade toping out at as much as 12% grade for periods going both ways..

PPPPPP!!!!!!!.

Nice day to run: 32 degrees, clear blue sky, sunshine, about 1/2 inch of snow on the ground that was melting fast. 4 mile modified tempo run.....very successful! tyi......

As my training schedule progresses towards Surf City, The Lost Dutchman and Boston, I find that I will need to adjust and take Friday off and run a 16 miler saturday. I would prefer to run the long on Sunday because my next two marathons are on sundays.  Of course this is just probably a way for me to rationalize taking a day off and not running on Christmas Day, now just how weak is that!!!

Hey, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and yours !!!!!
