3 miles CC skiing.  Same route up green as Saturday.  Only I went just a bit further and quite a bit faster.  Technique improved and it was recently groomed so there was less ice.

3 miles- 40 mins- 400' vert - 131 ave hr

Ditched the skiis and went up the trail (nice and packed down by fat tire bikes) to the 2.75 mile road crossing.  Was able to get out of the gunk and have the air warm up a bit.  Headed back down past the trailhead and went to King park and checked out conditions on Green Face.  Not ideal.  Very icy and lumpy.  Went up half mile then called it good.

T-1:15 - 7.6 miles - 1500' vert - 150 ave hr

12 final miles to finish out the year.  I was hoping that all trails would be as nice as Green Canyon was yesterday.  I was wrong.  I went on BST and up River Trail towards Bridger Overlook.  For much of it, it was a skating rink and I didn't bring my micro-spikes.  Bad choice.  I ended up flat on my back at one point.  I was tired today and the icy conditions made it even slower.  At least the air was decent on the bench and up the canyon.

T-1:57 (9:40) 1350' vert. (145 ave HR)

Happy New Year!

The options were sleep in and try and get rid of this cold I ahve had for 3 weeks or get outside and enjoy the outdoors.  Guess what one won?  I can't resist a Saturday on a Wednesday.  Today I went up Providence Canyon with the hope of making it to Logan Peak.  I failed once again.  The snow was just too deep up high and I couldn't go very fast at all.  I made it about a mile past Providence 'Lake'.  The weather was gorgeous up top.  Sunny and windy and cold.  Things went well until I got back to the truck and discovered I had dropped a glove on the trail.  I took them off about a mile up the trail and tucked them in my waistband so I knew that it would only be an extra 2 miles to go get it.  Bummer.  I found it about 3/4 of a mile from the truck.  Crisis averted.

Decided to let the body heal (novel idea) from my Flu/cold.

Instead of running I made a short list of highlights/lowlights of 2013 - 

Highlights
Snowshoe hike up Little Baldy and Temple Baldy (nearly froze to death)
Logan Peak Win (always nice to win!)
Bear 100 (I didn't end up in the hospital this time!)
Zion Traverse (incredible scenery, a must-do run)
Peak Baggin (21 unique peaks bagged this year)
High Creek to Green Canyon linkup (epic long run!)
Wind Rivers (backpacking/sick/long run/lost scout)
Bryce Canyon (Under the rim trail - scenic!)


Lowlights
Winter Inversion running (January stinks)
ITB pain in Feb
Dodgeball Injury (don't ask)
Sick at Speedgoat (and El Vaquero Loco)
More winter running...

In all, a great year!

PM: Feeling better.  Not all better but enough to get out and enjoy some sunshine.  I went up to Green and first went cross-country skiing.  This time I went all the way to the Yurt.  Even passed some people.  It was a popular to ski.  On the way down I passed some stupid guys on horses.  Messed up the trails pretty bad.  Jerks.

T-1:43 (127 ave hr) 1000' vert

After skiing I put on the microspikes and went back up for 5 miles (2.5 each way).  Awesome to get out even if there were giant pot holes in the trail now.

T-43:00 (151 ave hr) 650' vert
