| | Evening Skimo race at Brighton.
You thought you were fit? You thought you were "bad ass" because you run mountain trails. Guess what? There is a reason a handful of guys around here have every FKT to the top of every steep trail around here. Those guys are ski mountaineers. They are the fittest guys around, by far. Their cardio fitness that is off the charts. Let me give you an example: The Thanksgiving morning race was on a short course consisting of a 10 minute climb and a quick ski down, then repeat loops. I was able to do three loops. The guy that did the most loops, Tom Goth, did seven. Skinning uphill on skis is twice as much (or more) work than running uphill. I was worked. The race Tuesday evening was on a longer course. The faster group did 3 laps; I did two. Some of the faster guys did 4 loops. My jaw dropped at how fast those guys are. When they move into competetive running, watch out. They will dominate. My desire is to pick up some of that skiing fitness and carry it with me into the next year.

| | I am told it was single-digit cold this morning. I did not check the temperature before I left home this morning at 5:30. If I had known I would be running up the canyon in 6 degree cold I may have wimped out - not on running the canyon, but on running the canyon in shorts. Of course I was cold, but not so much on the legs. My hands and toes went cold, and my manhood just gave up and went into hibernation. But the legs were fine.
I've been a lazy bastard lately, on purpose. I've done enough runnnig this year. I go when I want to go and I haven't been OCD about getting out. But I want to transition into Winter training so this morning may be my kick-off for that. Or maybe not. I will do what I want, when I want. Motivation comes from knowing friends are meeting at appointed times and places. That will get me out more than a sense that I need to get out.
Also I am close to 500,000 feet of vertical feet of ascent total for 2013. A few more weeks of easy stuff should put me over the top.

| | Early morning trail run up to Ave Twins; with J-Lynn, Scott, Matt, and Zac. I have overcome my fear of wearing shorts in single-digit temps. It is not bad at all. Now, wind would be a different story - that is where the real test of manliness will be won or lost.

| | Up Farmington canyon, wearing shorts. The run up was about 10 minutes slower over deeper snow, but the run down was one of my fastest.
I will post on the FRP until the end of the year. Them I am off.

| | I made an early morning journey into Utah County this morning, to go up Lake Mountain. It was just me in the darkness. I had a bag full of goodies to stash at the top for some friends. I don't know how Santa does it.
