Easy run to start the week.  Also, today was trial number one of the plastic bag shoe liner idea.  Worked beautifully, except that I punched a hole in them running downhill on the way home.  I will experiment with putting extra bag inside the shoe next time.  I got my shoes soaking wet in the canal on purpose and it was definitely cold initially, but my feet warmed right back up after a minute or so.  I ran through every snowy field and puddle I could find but I just couldn't keep my feet cold.  I was actually pretty surprised.  It was no sauna in there, but it wasn't uncomfortable by any means.

Moderate effort today in the fog.  Was very peaceful and relaxing.

Easy run in the fog again.  I could barely see 100 yards.  If I hadn't been out in the sticks north of Logan it might have been scary with cars.  But it was ok.

Ate an entire package of bacon this morning, along with eggs and pancakes.  That kind of breakfast makes for a sluggish-feeling run.  But I deserved it I think.

Got up this morning and went to my roomie's house for breakfast and stuff and hung around there for awhile, then came home and went for a long run up Green Canyon.  It was a beautiful day.  There was a lot of snow, but the road had been groomed for skiers so it was very runnable.  Actually about as perfect for running as snow can be.  Great run for a Christmas Day.

 1:55:42 (7:42/mi.)

 Merry Christmas everyone!
