Anybody ever use the running track at the Olympic Oval?

>1/4 mile indoor track is sweet, and it's 63-65 degrees inside year-round. Cheap to use too! I think I'm going to use this instead of the treadmill next time the weather forces me inside. I'll probably use it during the really hot days of summer too.

Yeah, it's close to my house. Not as close as the treadmill I usually use, but worth it to not run on a treadmill.
Thought of this thread as I went for my run this morning... I normally keep my winter runs to the treadmill, but I make exceptions
So where are you at? The picture name suggests New York but I'm 100% certain New York doesn't look like that this time of year
Marco Island, Florida, enjoying the comfortable 75* weather
I uploaded the pic using the photobucket droid app, not sure why it got that URL

Oooh, that looks sweet. Yesterday it was above 40 degrees during my run. I was happy with that.
Yeah, I left a little late yesterday on my run. When I started, the snow was melting, by the time I finished, all that melting snow had turned in to ice...that made for an interesting run

So how's it been going?
Decent. I'm actually following Hal Higdon's training program. http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/Mar00index.htm We'll see how it goes. I'm following the Novice program and I'm only on my second week.
Well, it's official, I've signed up for my first race Sapper Joe Trail Race. I signed-up for the 15K race

UNSTUCK
But stuck more often.

Running in sand is about as hard as it gets. Reminds me of Rocky Point watching the ice cream men pushing their carts through the sand. Can't be much fun.
On a side note, my wife has been running with the salt lake running club doing the winter races. Her first race ever was a 5k. Did it a month or so ago. She ran it 5 minutes faster then her goal. So did the same two weeks ago with a 10k. This Saturday is her 15k so we'll see how that goes.
She signed me up with her to do a half marathon in vagas in December. That will be my first race, and my last im sure. I'm no runner, but if it helps her then I'm all for it.
Is anyone running the Moab race in March? We will be there for that.

Hmm, 15k might be doable. Let me think about it
Do it! I'm running it with another buddy that's running the Ragnar. He's thinking if he can complete the 15K, that he's on track for his training for the Ragnar.
If you can do a 15k trail run then the ragnar will be easy. the longest trail run I've ever done was only 2.7 miles. I'm not sure I have the ankles for 9.3, and with the triathlon training I'm doing I'm not sure I have the time to train the right way. I'll think about it.
I did this Bonneville trail relay last year and it was pretty fun

doesn't look like they've updated their site since last year though.
