Ran on trail today. Went up millcreek to Burch trailhead and ran out to Rattlesnake. This is the first time I have run with Dillon in his jogging stroller. The ride was a bit bumpy but he seemed to love it. Bandy did a great job heeling the entire run.

My legs felt fine although the pace was abit slower than I am used to running. It took us 32 minutes to go out and 33 to get back. I guess thats not too bad considering the slush, mud, snow and stroller. Anyway, it was great to be on trail. Roads and road racing hold little allure for me. It is all about the trails.

Bob - which marathon are you thinking of this spring?

My recommendation is not to try to run 2:20 until you've run 2:22-2:24. As I said earlier, you might be in shape, but it takes a while to learn to execute. If you get into such great shape that you can run 2:20 any day in any conditions regardless of how the race goes, you can afford to go out in 1:12. But if you are ready for 2:21, the bad day makes it 2:24, and you go out in 1:10 trying for 2:20, that will spell disaster.

are the trails still to muddy to run on or are not that bad?

I ran on pipeline (Burch to the point) today, Friday. The trail between Burch and Church Fork was slushy but runnable. From Church out to the point it was nice except for a few spots. There was still mud and water but the trail was firm enough to toe off without losing your footing.
