A couple months ago I won a pair of Montrail Badrocks from Max King on facebook.  They just arrived and I got them specifically for wet. snowy, or muddy conditions. So, I grabbed my neighbor Matt and we did an EARLY morning run up Farmington Canyon, which was snowpacked. It was my first run on the snow and the shoes did great.  Unfortunately, my knees did not.  I gave them an almost 2-week rest, but wasn’t very diligent at using my foam roller on them.  Also – I was feeling pretty lazy or something, and just had to power hike most of the way up. I’m sure it was MVH’s slowest time ever going up the canyon.

6.9 Miles @ 15:14 min/mile and 1,533 ft. elevation

Also – did I mention that it was about 15 degrees.  Here is my solution for the cold weather.

It’s my bandito look.
