Easy up wasatch at lunch. Very cold but luckily not very icy. There were plenty of snowy patches and places to slip but I felt pretty good when I could run on the road. 61:12 total.

I took three days off because I think I needed it. December just feels like take it easy month. I am also nursing some nagging stuff in my left glute but that felt no different on today's run. I also get a "balky" knee this time of year, I think from the cold. It's just a little sore and tight but not a big issue I don't think. So frustrated with those pains and wishing they would go away.

Huntsman must have hot showers. If it stays this cold I might have to hibernate at the gym during the week for awhile.

This is when the lunch time runs are truly special. I think maybe part of the reason that December is a down month for people, other than being the busy holiday season, is we need time to accept the cold and acclimate. Come January, everyone is excited for a new year and we all go crazy again weather be darned.
