Patience; the new endurance sport.

Gearing up to get back to it.  I took a week off to ski with my sis and her friends who were here for Sundance and my sister's 50th birthday. She brought her entire DC entourage and we didnt every single thing Sundance and Park City have to offer.  I skiied every day for 8 days at every resort in PC and SLC.  It was fun, but I have a skiing hangover.

9:30 ap

9:40 ap

10 m/m  been a really slow week -- trying to get back into the swing.

Ran  repeats:  10 m/m for 3 min: 9 m/m 30 seconds : 7:30 for 15 seconds.

However, on my mile 4 repeat sprints I jumped off the treadmill (instead of stopping the machine) to run to the bathroom.  I had the TV up really loud in the 6 am darkness and so when I went to get back on the treadmill--I stepped an unsuspecting foot onto the treadmill that was running almost 9 miles an hour (I'd forgotten I didn't turn it off).  I don't know exactly what happened but I have burned off skin from the top of my right hand/forearm and my right shoulder blade (just below the scapula).  I have a perfectly round 2x2 inch bruise on my left shoulder and a really sore right butt cheek/hip.  As I lay in the darkness after having been spit off the machine (having rolled once or twice?) trying to determine if anything was seriously damaged I had to laugh and wonder what that must have looked like.  

Finished my run just fine, except I didn't know about the rubbed off skin until the sweat started up again: ouchy. 

I ran really slow 11 m/m and reduced my post run sit ups and ham rolls.  I am really sore from yesterday (I didn't realize how much damage I'd done until this morning when I woke up).
