          Looks like such a pretty run!  I do like running in the snow.

          Heading off to run another relay. It's Friday-Saturday and goes from Miami to Key West. I've never been to that part of Florida so it will be a nice way to see it.

            Enjoy that race bud. Jealous of the weather you'll be running in. It's probably really cool there atm. Enjoy the scenery and the beer. As always good luck…. And send pics our way

              set out for a long run this morning. i headed out, was hoping the large amount of hikers and runners in the area were able to smoothen out the trails in the mountains today. The snow was still too packed, and in the areas exposed to sunlight had proven even more difficult to trek through. Winter this year is proving to be more difficult.

                  After another few inches of ice, snow and dropping temps, some of the local skiers have paved a slight path. Most of it had turned rock solid which was better suited for me thanks to some microspikes. Made my way through a single track overlooking the Hudson. Gorgeous day to be outdoors.

                  Stay tuned, thursday is predicting more inclement weather patterns and sunday will be -20. Going to have to figure a way to not get dicksicle again

                    Cross post. I must have been tired. I had meant to post it on this thread.

                    @summ3rhays:

                    A few photos from this weekend's race. My sleep schedule is all out of sorts, but trying to right myself in Key West.

                    Start Line at sunrise in Miami.

                    Met up with the girls van after the first 6 legs.

                    Ran 11.8 miles through the Everglades at night.

                    My last run was across a few bridges before Key West. Too tired to remember which.

                    Finish was pretty amazing. It took the team nearly 35 hours to cover about 200 miles. Fun way to see the countryside and a perfect excuse to stay a few more days.

                    R&R time

                          Back to Utah, but we brought the good weather with us. High in the mid 50'sF.

                          Snapped a pic of the cuter half of the group.

                              Wow, that puts the standard cross country course to shame.  I'm reminded of the Dipsea Race, which seems similar in spirit, if a bit shorter.

                                those sound like too enjoyable adventures. i wish i had discovered the trails sooner in life. @Graeme did you run it?

                                  I did. My time was around 1:30. The winning time that year was around 1:15, so not too bad.

                                  Messed up my knees in the process, though. 😞

                                    Same here.  Completely changed my perspective on running, especially anything longer than 5k.

                                      @Graeme after a lot of time in the mountains i too began to develop issues with knees. But I learned a lot of my issues were actually tight hips and quads. Upper legs were so tight, they began to pull on the insertion points at the knee, thus I assumed my knees began to go. There are a few mobility stretches you can do to help free up your knees. Also work with a lacross ball and a foam roller too and smash away

                                      @Chris - yeah I'm beginning to look at it from a long term perspective. Maintenance has been key as of late

                                      Oh guys I picked up new shoes tonight. I got them for 44% off so I can't complain.

                                        Quite a few people have said this to me. I've just done distance running on roads over the past few years but got an ultra coming up in July that has some trail sections.

                                        Looking for some new shoes that will be versatile enough for the trails but comfortable enough for hours on the road too. Seems to be a tough one.

                                          Unless the trail sections are pretty gnarly, I would just go with road shoes.  I've worn Mizuno Wave Riders for the last decade and run multiple trail runs in distances of 5 to 30k in them.  I don't think I'd try to run Leadville or Western States in them, but then most trail runs aren't that intense.

                                          (Not that I would run either of those at all, just to be clear. 😉 )

                                            The race I'm doing is around 65k but I don't think the terrain will be too bad at any point. I reckon running long sections on road in trail shoes won't be pleasant so I'll take your advice. Saying that, I don't think anything after a certain point is going to be pleasant!

                                            Been doing more looking this afternoon and Salomon do a couple of shoes specifically designed for long distances. They also look quite nice too, as far as running shoes go - which of course is the most important thing.
