3 miles at an easy pace on the TM followed by snow shoveling for an hour.

The goal this week is to run every day.  Last night I thought I would go up Farmington Canyon.  This morning there was 3-4 inches of new snow on my driveway, which meant I had to shovel again. No time for a longer run.  So I did 3 on the TM again with 2 miles in just under 15:30 @ 1% incline and last mile at 7% incline and 9:40 pace.

more snow to shovel this morning so 3 more on the TM.  I wore my Garmin while shoveling, per Dorsimus's suggestion yesterday.  Turns out I shoveled .6 miles of snow.

Solo up farmington canyon. Crazy how warm and nice it is once you get out of the inversion.
