Sunday....

9:30a.m.....Today I drove out 35 minutes or so to get to Sandy Gold's Gym so I could get my swim drills in...Swam 60 minutes drills there. For those of you who don't know..South of Salt Lake City in Utah Valley, they close all the Gold's Gyms on Sunday.... GRRR.

1:30 Stretched Legs for 40 minutes.

3:15 Ran 6 miles 47:10. Was super sunny and warm..Well about 33 degrees. Stretched immediately after for 30 minutes or so.

 

Wanted to show you some FUN I had on Friday...I spontaneously decided to just go run somewhere...(I'm falling in love with runs like this...)...

Found Myself running into Rock Canyon. 

 

I ran up the trail for a while and had a crazy idea how I wanted a picture of myself looking Bada** barefoot in the snow..

 

I thought, Woah I am crazy I better put my shoes on quick..What if I have to run fast like if a hungry mountain lion wants a snack..or some crazy guy hops out of a cave or something...SO I am putting my shoes back on and Will comes walking up the trail. I feel silly as he stops in his tracks.."Looks like you need some socks! It's cold out here...." 

 

So I explain to this ancient fellow how I wanted to take a silly picture for my friends..I didn't say "bada**!" I used my manners this time....It was actually a fun lil conversation..He lives near the canyon next to Coach Edwards (for you BYU fans)...He thought it funny I wanted a picture of "an ugly old man." I said, "NO, you are a Cool old man!" :D He insisted he take picutres of me for you to see how crazy I look sitting on the ground in the snow!

Said goodbye to Will..Gave him a hug..Ok I know that sounds weird..but he was cool old man and we had shared a cool moment in time...Flew back down that canyon..down hill all the way..

Headed north to get a few pictures in Provo Canyon..actually took 52 pictures on my run...so The 10.66miles or so...took 2 hours!

 

I just kept running knowing my hubby would pick me up...Thanks For the RIDE hubby! :) Eeek..I look tired and cold.

Look how I Look like a Leprechaun Dancing a fit trying to get my socks off..lol. I can hear the bagpipes now!

Lucky I didn't end up falling on my head in the water..those rocks were super slimy under my feet.

THE END!

Hey Missy! Love the pics, but I thought there were more =P Looks like an amazing place to run...makes me jealous b/c there isn't anything like that here. We'll hopefully you had a great weekend, keep up the great work!

From Burt on Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 11:23:59 from 206.19.214.144

Wow Missy. All that barefoot stuff in the snow makes me think you're part hobbit or something. (oh real original, Burt.)

From missy on Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 12:47:43 from 63.224.122.130

Hiya Sammie! You come out here for a visit and we can go run in some beautiful places! I will work on my speed and maybe I won't be too much of a weight on your stride. :)

Vinh..Well I took tons of pictures...but I thought maybe I put too many pictures on this blog entry already...8 of them! Didn't want to go overboard and have Burt make fun of me. :P

Burt...my self esteem is soaring! Being likened to a Hobbit likens me to being a Legend! :)

Nice pictures! It looks like you had a fun adventure and that's what it is all about. Maybe when some of the snow melts you can keep going all the way up to the 'peaks'. :)

From missy on Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 13:33:28 from 71.35.244.238

TY Scott...Eventually I want to do most of my runs trail..So undoubtedly I will run all the way to the peaks. :) Although If I ran to the peaks now with a sled on my back I could sled down..Weeee. Hehe.

I love standing in that river in the summer. You are brave to do it now. Hope you are warmed up by now!

From missy on Sat, Jan 30, 2010 at 05:24:53 from 70.56.98.145

Kelli...Yeah I am nuts...It was good therapy tho! So I am probably LESS nuts now. :)

Hey TBarlow..Let's do cannonballs in that river this summer! :) I like doing crazy stuff..Confuses the young people!
