I have been asked several times what shoes I wear while I am snowshoeing or running.

I use Montrail Hardrocks. I have found that they last longer than any other shoe, better stability, better grip and better fit with a reasonable price. I have tried North Face, Montrail Vitess which I like but do not last long enough for me, Asics trubuco's, addidas and many others. I have wore one pair of Hardrocks for a complete 100 mile race and it felt like I was riding in a cadilac.

Give them a try.

Coyote Hollow Trail

Did 40 minutes today on the Coyote Hollow trail in Draper. The trail was well packed down from snowshoes but snowshoes were not needed. I kept a running motion the entire time. The wind and the legs did burn a bit but that is expected the first time back. Loved being in the mountains again.

2 miles and I am off and "sick"

Did 2 miles with Cotton today. Groin still hurt and Cotton lapped me. I also got so sick on the way to Chadders for a celebratory burger that Cotton had to drive home. I was so dizzy and sweating like a dog. I did not even eat my burger.
The only thing I can think of is that I did three sets of dips and dumbell presses and sat in the hot tub and the body over heated.

I'll give it another try after I drop off the boys to school.

Patience My Day Will Come

After being off work, a new job, being sick, pulled groin, and lot's of cold wind. I am slow to get going on the trail runs.
I will start building out a hair salon for my sweet bride. Although I won't get to use it much as I don't have much need for hair cuts as the minimal hair I have on my chrome I can buzz myself.
As soon as it is done I will be adjusted to my work schedule, and will then have to throw the snow shoes on and get some altitude between my feet and civilization.
