With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams...

Went for a Wasatch Walk... it was beautiful to see the mountains.  Just after I finished walking, it started snowing!  Awesome :-)

Went to the rec center gym today.  While it was warm and I didn't have to navigate the ice/snow, it wasn't as great as running outdoors.

6 miles on the treadmill seemed to last forever.  Then I did 30 min on a recumbent bike, and tried some lap swimming.  I've swam before & done lap swimming before, so I know how to do it, but my body didn't want to.  I was KO'd after just a few laps.  Great exercise.  I had a lot of fun hanging out in the pool with RAD & our families after the workout session. 

The workout was totally worth the trip to Iceberg that night!  Yum :-)

Got up early to meet RAD at Daybreak for a sunrise run around the lake.  It was cold but beautiful.  So beautiful.  I envy those of you who live places where you get to see the sunrise over the mountains as you run on trails/paths without worrying about cars. 

I thought it would get easier to run in the altitude after a few days, but it really seemed like every day it got harder & harder to catch my breath.   Maybe it was just due to my terrific diet of popcorn, milk shakes, and chex mix. 

I got to take RAD's liitle L out for breakfast at Kneaders afterwards.  It was such a treat to sit & have breakfast with her - and a delicious breakfast at that!

I had a great visit to SLC and had a wonderful time running with RAD and the wonderful group of runners that made it out to her hot cocoa and donut run on the 24th. 

Looking forward to heading back home- just in time for the horrid cold weather to come to SLC and I can go back to the south with my not so horrid, "just a little icky" cold weather.

2 hours of sleep & jet lag...running was not on my schedule today.  trying to get home and stay alert long enough to get milk at the store were my workout challenges for the day.

still so tired.. woke up early to take kids to the passport office for their applications & lost the photos on the way.  we back-tracked & looked everywhere.  It's like they disappeared.  Lucky for us, the passport office was happy to charge me $15 for a new set.  STINK!  $255 later, we were on our way home.  

I took a nap & still feel tired.  Hoping I'll get caught up on my sleep and be back in the swing of things tomorrow.

45 min elliptical, physical therapy stuff, then a nice late afternoon run with Wyatt.

Got to go for a beautiful outdoor run in the south's 60 degree winter weather.  Now that's more like it!!

Short sleeves, knee length bottoms, and Wyatt was sporting her cowboy hat for protection from the sun (or so she says...I think she wears it because it is totally cool looking).

We walked a couple miles at the end- so that made our average pace rather slow...didn't even bother to check it.  I'm pretty sure we stayed under 10mm, so I'm a happy camper.
