The Love/Commitment Run Report

Well, it was a little windy, a little snowy and a little chilly, but Valentines morning we set out on the Rail Trail. The cold didn't seem to bother Basin, the mascot golden retriever seen in the picture, and it didn't bother us much either once we got into the run. It was nice--quiet except for the snow crunching under our feet.

We crossed paths with a skunk. He ran across the trail in front of us. Then decided to run parallel to us for 50 yards or so. Luckily we caught Basin before she decided to make friends.

The run ended back at our cars where we spent a few minutes talking, posing for a picture and enjoying cold water.

Resolution Run 5k

The air was cold and the roads were icey, but all 7 of us completed the first NorUT Stampede Run. I think a good time was had by all. I know I had fun and that was only way I would have gone running this morning--BRRRRRRRR. Peer presure can be a good thing sometimes.

We'll post a new run for next month. If you know of any local races, let me know and I'll post them to the calendar. Also if you want to plan a run, that would be great. Just let me know.

I think we've got a good thing here and the group will continue to grow. As always, everyone is invited to join.

Happy New Year,
Cris

Introduction

Welcome to the NorUT Stampede blog (website)!

Here's everything you need to know about NorUT Stampede. The NorUT Stampede is a running club located in Northern Utah. The club is free and welcomes people of all ages, skill levels, and from anywhere. Though it will be more convenient for you if you live in the general area (Weber Countyish).

I decided to form a club in the area because: 1- A running club doesn't exist around here. 2- Provide motivation for everyone involved, especially me. 3- Connect with other local runners. And 4- to have some fun.

I've included a few things as part of the blog including a calender, where I'll post the dates of our runs and other local runs, a link to the NorUT Stampede Group, which is a forum, and an area with other helpful links. The site will grow and evolve with the club.

If you're interested in joining, just send me an email. My contact info is listed to your right.

Also, if you're interested in planning some runs, helping update the calendar, contributing to the blog, or helping out in any other way, let me know.

Also, if you have an idea that you think would make the club more fun or more beneficial to its members, let me know.

I've planned the first run for Saturday, January 3rd (see the calendar for details). If interested, feel free to show up.

Regards,
Cris
