Stroller pushin in Texas

Winter temps here in San Antonio.  I would have braved the cold this morning, but it was also very windy.  I tried out the fitness center's TM here at our apartment building.  TM sucks.  I swear that thing is not calibrated correctly.  It was nice having a key to my own personal little gym just a few hundreds yards from where I live. 

I had a massage this morning so I had to hurry on the TM. 

I am in Utah and it is FREEZING.  Called Rachel and her original plan was to run 10 outside in the freezing at 5:30.  No thank you.  We met up at the Herriman gym and ran a total of 10.  2 miles on the track, 3 on the TM and repeated that. 

So nice to catch up with Rachel and be home.  I also got to see Kelli, added bonus!  :)  I bet those two girls are motivation for everyone else at that gym!

8 miles with Rachel on the track and TM, good times!!!

I met Rachel at her gym again because I didn't have any outside running clothes with me.  8 miles track and TM.  So good to run with a fun friend.  I got to see Kelli again!

Zumba at home.

Winter Wonder Land run with Rachel this morning!  I was a little nervous running in snow since I kind of have forgotten how to run in snow.  Rachel got to my house and we had started a little later than planned, so we decided to run 12.

We ran on the Murdock Trail in Lehi going up toward American Fork.  I haven't ran the complete trail, so I was just as confused as Rachel on some spots on the trail.  We figured out where to go because of the previous foot prints in the fresh snow.

At time the snow was really in our face and the road was comnpletely slushy.  Runs like this really bring meaning to running for me.  Beautiful scenery and a special friend to talk and run through it with.  If I still lived by Rachel, I think my weekly mileage could easily double if I ran everyday with her.  There is just a deeper meaning to running when you have someone you can capture the essence of a run with.  :)
