Good run on the trails. 12 miles or so with about 3000 ft of climb, wanted to do more, but I'll get to that. Wore my Yaktracks for the 1st time today as I knew the trail would be a little icy. Wow! like running in spikes! Flew from 27th street up to Malan's peak in 35:30, and was able to really push the downhill like I could on dry trail, great workout. Fished off by running an out and back on the BST. The goal being, (smart or not?) to run a hard hill then push through the rest on tired legs, which worked for a while . . . My whole family has had a chest cold, I knew my turn was coming, and sure enough about 10 miles in I was keeled over on one of the BST trail markers wheezing, coughing, and gasping for breath, walked the last mile up Taylor Canyon, pulled the plug early and ran back to the car. Hope this goes away quick!

Those yaktracks sound pretty cool. Sorry to here about the chest cold. There is a lot of bad stuff going around right now.

Thanks Matt I'm sure I'll get over it quick, I dont have it half as bad as my poor wife.Ya the Yaktracks are great. I've had them for a while, dont know why I hadnt used 'em, too lazy I guess. But I think I got a better workout with no foot slip?, sure felt better, maybe it ws the cold?
