Morning run with Cody.  Rather dark when we started at First Dam, up bonneville trail to Green Canyon.  Just light enough when we got to the singletrack.  Cold and rain/hail/sleet/snow.  Up to the top of Green Canyon road.  Nice run, nice and muddy just like I love it.  Good run up.  Coming down was a bit cold for a few miles with a very strong head wind, 35 deg, and hail.  It was nice to be able to commiserate with Cody.  It was real bad when at the same time we both started saying "Ouch, ouch" from the hail hitting us.  Much warmer at the finish with no wind.  Good 13 mile run, but not muddy enough and no blood drawn.  Maybe next time.

Weather I do, but mud, not so much. That hail must have been much bigger than what I ran in on Wednesday.

Jon, you are one sick puppy. How could you think that was fun?

Gotta love the Cache Valley climate.

Muddy trail runs are my favorite. Don't mind cold or snow, but wasn't particularly fond of the hail. Stacy, the hail wasn't very big but hurt due to the very strong winds.

I didnt love the mud Cody tracked in my house. He was covered head to toe and there was mud in the shower when I got in an hour later! Thanks for taking him all over tarnation.

Glad you enjoyed it though.
