I figured that I should make the most of the warmer weather before a winter storm makes it difficult to run outside. It was pretty windy this morning, but the temperature was very comfortable. I started shedding layers about halfway through the run. I ran my six mile 4800 S to River Trail loop. I listened to quite the eclectic mix of music, which included Kelly Clarkson's new album (very run-able!) Adele, Lady Gaga, and a few Christmas songs for good measure. How did I ever survive without a soundtrack to my running.
Tonight we held the East High cross country awards banquet. (It's banquet week!) Brad Barton was the guest speaker. He was very entertaining, combining magic with inspiration. I highly reccommend him to anyone looking for a motivational speaker. I felt a little stupid when I asked him if he had a running background, and he said "a little bit of one." Then, I found out he was an All-american at Weber state and made a USA team. I would say that is more than a "little bit" of a running background! Next time I'll do my homework so I don't sound so ignorant. |
