Got in a long run in 30 minutes before leaving for a long day skiing. Our first out this season and my six year olds first lesson. Freedom for two and half hours was great but she caught on quite well. Better than one day on the bunny hill last year with me placing her between my legs (not a good idea if you don't want to feel wasted at days end). I didn't have to do any of that this year, just ski backwards to have her follow my tracks and keep an eye on her. She even got off the second stop of the chair at Sundance. She was a little trooper. I am wiped now. My run this am started at 630 am. I ran just under four and then met at Kim's. Kim didn't want to go as early as I had plans to leave at six. I ignored my alarm then but got out soon enough. Ran an additional 6.3 miles with Kim. Kept good pace for all of it so we wouldn't freeze our tails off. Had red marks on my stomach and thighs and those two large things I carry around for added fat storage. Even a hot shower didn't diminish the redness. I had to do the triathlon-like shower/change/dress take off so as to not tick off my husband for getting in just before 8am with plans to leave our house by 830am. My kids were flaking without me there so we got out at 840am. Not too bad. Avg run pace for 10.12 miles (8:01). Avg sprint for the ski day pace (6:30, just kidding but it did feel like it was like MOVE!! MOVE, MOVE!!). Now I am home feeling completely tired and ready for bed. Hope everyone did well at Painters. As for me I finished with a personl best biatthon here in Utah County.

Thanks for the comment on my blog. I'd actually run across your blog before, too, and noticed that you live down where I grew up. I love running around AF, especially by the temple. If we ever ran the same race, it looks like we'd be right together. Maybe I'll see you around.
