a.m.

speed workout:

2 really slow warmup miles in the cardio cinema watching Date Night

(moved to the open gym to add some pressure)

4 miles of FFs

2 miles cooldown (kind of): 3/4 of a mile at 8:34 followed by 1/4 of a mile at my max speed, twice

p.m.

Rec center with the family.

2 miles with Ry on the indoor track (8:30, 7:40)

upperbody weights (tried to show off for my boy -- I am going to pay for it tomorrow)

A handful of games of speed with the fam. I looked pathetic - after the upperbody workout my arms could not shoot the ball at all!!!!

** On a side note: Undecided on registering for the Slam. Not quite sure it will be as doable in 2011 as it was in 2010 (if all goes well with school). Dang ... looks like I have until midnight to decide. :)

** Another side note: I am conveniently allowing myself to believe that these Sweeet Potato krinkle cut chips from Costco are a good snack. It is okay to eat the whole bag in a few sittings because they are made with natural ingredients: sweet potatoes, expeller pressed oil ("expeller" being the operative word) and sea salt. Furthermore, you get a FULL SERVING of vegetables in every ounce. So technically, if I eat the whole bag I am really just eating 16.5 servings of veggies!!! Right? :) :) :)

2 miles by myself, 7.1 miles with Fly from City Creek up to and around Ensign's Peak.

******************************

I'm pretty sure Fly and I found Winterland's playground!!! :) :) :) A couple miles into our run Fly asked me, "Okay, should we run the safer route, or should we be adventurous?" After having me sign a disclaimer we were off!!!! (Okay, he really didn't make me sign anything ... but I did have to verbalize that I was of sound mind when we made the decision to take the path less traveled.)

I think from that point on I couldn't get the silly grin off of my face. Much of the snow we were running/hopping/skiing/sliding in came to my mid-thighs. Hence I biffed it (is that a real word?) on NUMEROUS occasions!!! The powder was so soft that the falling just added to the fun. Not hurt, not even embarrassed ... just loving it all!

Final score for falls:

Teena 5, Fly 1. I TOTALLY WIN!!!!

Also, I ate snow for the first time since grade school, and for the first time got a close look at deer droppings. Yes, I have lived a sheltered life. :)

Winterland's Playground > treadmill ... BY FAR!!!!!! :) :) :)

Thanks Fly! :)

16 miles AP 7:58

Solid effort! :)

The first bit I was running in the 8:20s for the first 3/4 of every mile and then running the last 1/4 of each mile at 7:30. I felt strong and so started picking up the pace at mile 10. At mile 14 I took a one minute break and calculated how fast I would have to run to get my AP under 8:00. Pushed hard and did it. I am very pleased with this run. (Must have been the Pier 49 pizza I had for lunch with Ry.) :) :) :)

Tomorrow is extremely busy, so I had to get in my longer run today. Worked out wonderfully. :)
