Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
17.25	0.00	17.25

Details later. 2.25 alone @ 5:40am. 14 together with Kim, Jane and Carrie. Last one home. Total 17.25. 15 miles at 8:22 pace. Last mile 7:36.

Icicle forming run at 6am. Butt cheeks, face cheeks and thighs were numb the entire run. My pony tail was crystalized and stiff, the air was thick (Major Inversion) but we had an enjoyable hilly run from PG to Alpine on 6000 west to Westfield Rd and down Ranch Road by Westfield Elementary and Timberline Middle school (where my kids ballet performance The Little Match Girl will be tonight). We ran by there thru the Alpine circle and down by Lone Peak turning at Walmart taking the scenic route back. Fun in the dark the first 1 hr 20 minutes with some Christmas Lights on and fog and howling dogs and potty breaks in snowy fields. Loved the run cause I loved the company. Great route too. I am loving the hills these days. (elevation gain almost 400 ft, not bad). PS It is a good thing I had to be back by 815am or I would have added more on. To each his own (insanity).

April, your on to me :D. Couldn't sleep after 7 hours of sleep waking at 411am. Time dragged to wait for my 6am start so at 540am I decided to add on. I was trying to tell myself to take it easy and even thought about running five beforehand and then I would be at 70. Then I decided I didn't care about 70 really when I am not training for anything big right now. That was a big milestone for me in my "not so anonymous insane runners club".

I bow to the president of the "not so anonymouse insane runners club". It's a good thing you had to be back by 8:15am. Sheesh!!!

AWESOME winter night run with howling dogs and Christmas lights and great friends! You're the BEST!!!

I know the route you gals ran; I run that quite often on Saturdays! VERY COOL!!! I plan to run up Suncrest a few times. It's 13.1 round trip from my house.
