Okay, this cold spell is getting old.  I saw on the news that we had near record low temps this morning across the State with the lowest spot being -17 F.  It was 4 F when I woke up and I just wasn't in the mood to get all bundled up and skate around again.  The paths and sidewalks here in Westminster are not plowed like they are in Boulder, so its quite lumpy and icy around here.  May we please just have a day or two of warmth that will melt the snow and ice off the sidewalks?  That would be nice.  Forecast says we'll be getting into the 40s on Sunday and Monday, that should do it.  I may be getting in some more treadmill mileage until then.  Especially since Aaron and I are headed to Steamboat Springs tomorrow for a little company retreat.  We got ourselves and our Executive Assistant and her boyfriend a couple of rooms as part of the early season ski promotion where if you stay for 3 nights, they give you 4 free ski tickets per room.  So we'll be snowboarding Friday and Saturday in Steamboat!  And of course a lot of hot-tubbing and eating at yummy restaurants.  Ahhh vacation is good.  Our kids are being cared for by some friends in our ward.  We watched their son in September so they could go backpacking and now they're paying us back.

SO today I ran on the treadmill at the gym.  Aaron and I went together at 4:30 p.m. and took the kids to play in child care.  I warmed up for 20 minutes in my VFFs, then started to feel a hot spot on my toe, so I changed to my shoes.  Aaron and I ran on treadmills next to each other for about 5 miles and then Aaron got sick of it and went to the track for another mile and swam some laps while I finished my other 5 miles.  My left leg is a little tight, starting at the hip and going down my IT band so Aaron offered to work on it for a bit tonight.  What a guy.

That's why I miss Denver in the winter. You get snow, but one day of sunlight melts it off the roads so you can run again. In Logan, the snow we got last week will be here till March- even on sunny days, nothing melts.

**sigh**- oh well, maybe I should either quit complaining or move to San Diego.
