Got stuck in the Virgin River Gorge for 12 hours on our charter bus. Quite the memory.

Really stinking cold right now in St. George. I cannot believe the temps and all the snow. It is crazy. Something very unique but I moved to St. George to get out of this weather. Ran from the house this afternoon and went out along the Snow Canyon Parkway. It has been a while since this has happened. Lots of ice on the road. After 5 miles I turned around and did 10x1 minute fartleks with 1:00 minute recovery. Felt good to get some turnover in the legs. Just need to keep things rolling.

Ran from the high school out around the Bloomington Loop and then came back the same way. Even more ice this way. Kept it easy 7:24/mile. Another cold run.

11.5 miles this morning. Ran a little with Clyde before Dave showed up. I knew it was pretty cold when I got out of the car. Dave showed up and told us it was 3 degrees. That is ridiculous for St. George. Due to all of the ice on the trail we had to run around and make up a route. It was ncie for a little change of scenery. I looked like Jack Frost after we finished running.

4 miles this afternoon with Lily and Matthew. Warmed up 2 miles and then did 6x:20 second pickups. Felt pretty good.

Was supposed to go to San Antonio with Katey this weekend but the entire family got sick with the flu last night. Perfect timing. In bed or the bathroom the whole day.

Needed to get out of the house even though I wasn't 100%. I waited until the afternoon when it was a balmy 46 degrees and decided to see how I felt once I started. I ended up dong 10 total miles at 7:09/mile. Felt okay but I could still feel the sickness in me.
