CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN: 3 Days!

Did the government pass a new Law that I didn't hear about? Is it illegal to salt your sidewalks or at least SHOVEL the sidewalks? I went from my house over to 2300 South then continued until 2700 South. Staying on 2100 East until 3300 south where I turned down and continued until Imperial then I took Imperial until Sugarhouse Park where my dad picked me up. This run was INCREDIBLY slow!! Started at a 9 minute pace then I was able to average it out to an 8:36 pace by the end. The ice and snow all over the roads and sidewalks made me run really slow and really cautious! On top of all things, I got this huge blister on my big toe:( Then I came home, did my crunches, push ups and calf raises. Now I am sitting in front of the fire doing a puzzle. How Christmassy???

After opening presents, I managed to get out the door for about a half hour. Then more PRESENTS!

Met up with Larry, did 4 strides then that run one lightpole then wait for 20 seconds like strides. We did 12 then ran the rest of the way around the park. Then I did another lap, ran back to Larry which got me to 4 miles then I did 2 more laps on my own.

After spending pretty much all of my money in the Park City outlet stores, I managed to go for a run. I bought myself some new Nike Flywire's and wore them. I did 4 strides warm up again then we did 8 lightpoles with the 20 second recovery thing then we ran the 8 light poles as an 800 hard. Then we started with the 800 then came back with strides. On the third mile repeat we did the strides first then the 800 coming back. Then I jogged around to get to 4 miles then I did 2 laps around the park.
