6.2 in 43:25 on the 'mill.  Funny, but I think thats a 10k PR .( I know its on the treadmill so it doesnt really count :) )  Wasnt trying, just wanted a good 45 minute tempo run.  It's been a long time since I've really cared about pace, ususally I just run how I feel, and half the time with no watch.  I was suprised to feel that tempo pace on the treadmill at 6:50, usually it's like 8:00. Nice to see the work put in this summer paying off.

Another run up to Malan's Peak.  I think I am addicted, but its so easy, the trail starts a couple of minutes from my front door!  Again, even after the new snow, the trail was in great shape.  Thank you to the Ogden area hardcore folks who get out when the snow is deep and pack it out for guys like me. I was able to run every step from 27th street to the peak again. It feels so good to be able to run this trail!!  It took me 1:01 RT, it used to take 55 minutes to an hour just to go up on dry trail, and that was pretty hard effort.  Back in those days, a guy passed me running up the switchbacks (the trail is about 2.5 miles one way with around 2250 of climb, 1800 ft of that up steep switchbacks in the last 1.5 miles) and I recall thinking how impossible that seemed to be able to run on that kind of terrain. Even 6 months ago I thought, #1 I could never run this trail and #2 I could never break 40 minutes up. Now my PR is 35:15 on dry trail, and yesterday taking it easy on snow packed trail it took me 39 minutes. Now, none of this is fast in the real world of fast, but for me, it's a good gauge of my improvement. And a good start to the new year.
