I met Cody and Paul at the canal trail.  We went up on the Bonneville trail and it statred snowing and the wind was picking up.  I knew we were in for it when we hit Green Canyon.  I went up the canyon just over 3.5 miles, according to Cody's Garmin.  We were going a good easy pace, (which didn't always feel easy on the uphill in the snow), and I felt like I could went the whole run with Paul and Cody.  I didn't want to overdo it though, and I needed to get home to do checkouts with the students.  I had already mole miles than what I had plnned to do in the wohle run, so I turned around.  The way down Green Canyon was terrible!  It was a head iwnd with snow blowing in my face.  I had a hard time seeing where I was going, and needed to see with the rough terrain so I didn't kill myself.  I needed some goggles for this run.  By the time I got out of the canyon and headed down to 1500 East, the wind and storm were dying.  I had about an inch of of ice and snow on my head, which started melting and running down my shirt the rest of the way home.  I went home on 1500 East and 1000 North.  Good pace down the canyon and home, but probably 9 minute pace going up.  2:02:03

I got 72 miles this week, my highest week in over five years, now it is time to taper back down for Ogden.
