5:00 a.m.  4 mil run on Skyline to end of pavement and back.  30 degrees.  Saw Liz on the way back.  She said she and her dog had an encounter with a coyote yesterday.  I told her I thought Coyotes mostly worked down along the Mexican border.  She didn't get it.

Bagged my long run today and went and did 2 hours of rotations at the gym with Tina.  5 minutes each on elliptical, stair master, TM running, cycling.  She kicked my butt, as usual. Then an additional 25 minutes on the upper body weights.  Light reps of 3 x 15 x 6 machines.  Heading into the U of U vs. UCLA game today.  Should be fun sitting in the cold, rain and/or snow.
