 More snow here in Utah!  Hard to run on in the pitch dark daylight savings a.m.  I hate daylight savings.  I hate black ice.  300 sit ups, 40 push ups, ( 3)60 second plank--stretching, painful post seated travel stretching.

I ran after work.  Not fond of the  post work-day work out. But I pushed hard for two good miles (8:30's).  On mile 6 toward the end, I got a surprise call from Catherine!  I laid off inviting her to run since our  post SGM runs because I didn't want to tempt her to run when she was trying to get her thyroid thing in order. While we trained she lost like 15 pounds and was exahusted all the time, lost her hair, etc.  Then after the Marathon was diagnosed with Graves.  So now she's all juiced up on sythetic hormone, gained her weight and grew her hair back, and she's ready to rock.  Tricky little thing's been training for Moab behind my back.  We decided we'd do the Utah County Martahon in June.  I'm so excited!  It was weird I couldn't get myself to register for Ogden.  No Amanda, no Catehrine for Ogden so I was waffeling.  I guess it's time to run on my home turf for a change.  Yay Cath's back!

I ran two of these miles so fast on a full lunch-time stomach I thought I'd die.  I had to rest for about 15 seconds after each one to catch my breath, but I still averaged 9:13 for the whole run.  I hate this time of year.  It's cold, bleak, and the color of depression.  How's that for an entry.

I rode 19 miles on the stationary and did 300 sit ups, 40 push ups.  Later on couldn't resist being outside and ran 2 easy miles for lunch.  But also, I registered for the Utah Valley Marthon on June 13th.  If Marion and I are doing it, you all are doing it. So, as they say; Just Do It.

Besides which 100% of the proceeds go to charity.  Now that's a race I can feel good about.

"Fast miles" is qualifed as anything sub 9:00.  Ran with Catherine this morning.  We haven't done a run over 5 since Fall.  She felt pretty strong....but she could be having a cardiac arrest and I would never know.  She just runs and never complains. Unlike me, I like to complain. And then I  stop to stretch the parts I complain about.  At the end of the trail Timpanogos had one trianglar section lit bright pink from behind as the sun hit the horizon in the East.  The whole imense mountain face stood cool, stark, and steely white, except this one angular section of pink where the sun kissed it good morning. This,  reflected with razor-edge precision in mirrored stillness of the lake.  It's like if a tree falls in the forest, can anyone hear it.  Does beauty exist in silent places across the earth even if there is no one there to witness it?.  Yes. The freakin answer is yes.  Just get out there and be the first one to see it in the morning.   The lake is now almost all the way unfrozen except around the reedy edges and the rocky pier.  The lake was so still, it shone the same breathtaking shade of silvery-blue-and-pink that filled the sky. What a gift to be filled with these silent beautiful moments, alone in the world, before anyone else is awake enough to ruin the view.
