I had such a great day.  Worked 2 hours, skiied 2 hours in the fresh powder and sunshine, picked up my sister and then went to have lunch with Smooth, Josse, Marion, and Michelle.  It was so good to see everyone today, and fun to share my sis with them too.  We all have so much going on, it was nice to have a reason to catch up. It always makes me laugh a little to see everyone all dressed up  like they dress in real life.  We're so used to seeing each other half dressed, no makeup, sweaty and /or freezing noses.

I am not very good at blogging recently and have been trying to enter just my mileage but when I only enter my mileage without including a blog entry, the entry does not appear on my blog face.  So this is my blog entry.

Ran outside.  It's not getting dark until almost 6 now.

Today's 17 mile journey is brought to you by kidney failure, an anuerism, and hypothermia.   Oh...My.....Gosh.  The first 6+ miles were GREAT! ran to the water fountain with Jos and Ericka. We averaged 9:40's I think, but after they left I began my great lonely trek back into the Provo Canyon running against gale force winds with a windchill I am certain was in the teens.  My face and brain became so frozen on the uphill portion against the wind I felt positively comatose. I thought about little smooth with her owie knee also going it alone.  I wished I had the time to run the JRP today.  I ran  many, many  11 minute miles and at the end my average was 10:53.  I was literally hypothermic by the time I got home (I was running too slowly by the end to generate any heat).  Anyway, I did it.  I'm looking forward to the weeks getting better and better. By 2 pm I am more fully recovered after a glass of milk with ovaltine and brewer's yeast and fish oil and a long hot bath.  I stretched right before the bath and my legs were shaking like after I had a baby.  Probably a bad way to jump into the higher mileage--but now I'm patting myself on the back for getting in done and running up hill both ways.
