WAYYYYY TIREEEEEEEEDDDDD.  Sooooooooooo busy at work and had to stay over until 735am!!!!  (went in at 6pm).  Was pulled to Orem Communtiy Hospital for the first time in a decade.  They were suddenly swamped.  Enjoyed it,  nice remodeled unit 4 years old.  But man, long, no real big break, night.  Finished the book.  Really was inspired by it.  Amazing what people go through based on choices.  Read it.  Not sure about running today.  Slept three hours and brain just a wreck and body following. 

PM RUN @ 410pm starting at my girls' dance studio by the Walmart in Cedar Hills.  Ran a hilly, icy path route thru the golf course and on 1/2 un plowed trailways.  Kept me on my toes.  First mile was not into running but really got into it and felt good after two miles.  Air not too bad.  A cool breeze thru AF canyon, not bitter, amazing.  6.12 miles at a lovely 8:57 pace.

Great pace. Way to venture outside and be courageous! Where do your daughter's take dance at?

I remembered getting pulled to work at Orem Community a few times. It was such a small hospital then.

Had never run the golf course or trailway there although have run that main roads many times. GOOD JOB on icy hilly route with tired body!

bec- avondal dance academy. they have a big ballet recital this Sat. The Little Match Girl. BTW I am loner in my crazy runner nonanonymous running group. I run at very varied times. join me in spirit girl, but be careful. when the weather clears we should run the Suncrest run. Too awesome. I am still dreaming of it and look over at it from a distance when I am driving my girls to dance from PG.

Yes, when there isn't a tail wind I might brave the "beast" with you. BTW, I was really sad when I heard you did not get into Squaw Peak. I really wanted you to take home the overall ladies trophy. I seriously think that long brutal stuff is in your blood.

Have a great week, and hope you get a few naps in! You're a HARD worker girl!!!
