9.100.000.000.000.009.10

2 miles by myself, 7.1 miles with Fly from City Creek up to and around Ensign's Peak.

******************************

I'm pretty sure Fly and I found Winterland's playground!!! :) :) :) A couple miles into our run Fly asked me, "Okay, should we run the safer route, or should we be adventurous?" After having me sign a disclaimer we were off!!!! (Okay, he really didn't make me sign anything ... but I did have to verbalize that I was of sound mind when we made the decision to take the path less traveled.)

I think from that point on I couldn't get the silly grin off of my face. Much of the snow we were running/hopping/skiing/sliding in came to my mid-thighs. Hence I biffed it (is that a real word?) on NUMEROUS occasions!!! The powder was so soft that the falling just added to the fun. Not hurt, not even embarrassed ... just loving it all!

Final score for falls:

Teena 5, Fly 1. I TOTALLY WIN!!!!

Also, I ate snow for the first time since grade school, and for the first time got a close look at deer droppings. Yes, I have lived a sheltered life. :)

Winterland's Playground > treadmill ... BY FAR!!!!!! :) :) :)

Thanks Fly! :)

Just because you fell more, doesn't mean you had more fun.

Good stuff there!!! :)

And yes it does mean I had more fun!!! You have to admit, I laughed A LOT more than you did!!! Especially when I fell (over and over again)!!!! :)

Sounds like you two had a blast.

Rhett,

You would have LOVED it!!!! I wish so badly that you and Doone lived closer.

It has also been so much fun getting to know Fly better. He has been so patient running my pace and showing me all of the trails that I have been missing out on. Plus, he knows A LOT of cool stuff!!! :)

It's great to have that totaly joyous run on occasion. I wish we had that powdery snow out here on the east coast.
