There was suppose to be a base 5k today... 

We woke up this morning and it was foggy out.  We got to the gym to register for the 5k and no one was sitting at the table.  They told us inside the gym they might cancel the race because so far it was only us two that had shown up.  We went to the bathroom and other runners had started accumulating.  They then told us that since it was foggy, the visibility was poor, so they ended up canceling the race.  REALLY?? No one was surprised that they canceled their poor advertised free race.  Conditions were ideal for running.  

David amd I ran the course as well as a father son duo.  Base races really are lame.  The people in charge have probably never have ran a step in their lives so they don't know how to put on decent races.  At least they still put together some races.

David and I ran the course twice and then added two miles.  I ran three miles on the TM and one mile home totaling twelve.

We made it to San Antonio!  We don't know where we will be living yet, so we are hanging out at Randolph AFB.  What a beautiful base!  The buildings here are Colonial style and there are tons of things to do.

Headed to the new gym and found myself on a state of the art TM.  First I watched TV and then I discovered I could play Solitaire on the TM!!!  It took a lot of concentration not to trip or fall off as I moved the cards around on the screen.  I played the game until my hands got to sweaty.

1 mile warm up.

.5 @8 .5@ 8.5

2 miles of hill climbing

1 mile back on speed

Only time for a short run because our furniture was being delivered to our new apartment.  The new area is nice to run around in.

8 miles with David in our new surroundings.  It's always fun to run and explore a new area.  There was a big running path next to a road we followed most of the way.

2 more miles by myself.

Super foggy and humid.  Still running in short sleeves and shorts.

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!

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.  :)

Ran with Rachel at her gym this morning.  I ranted off and she listened.  Thanks Rachel!

Bought a pair of Altras for $40 today.  Let's see how they work out.

I tried Zumba at Gold's Gym  in Orem.  The class was packed and there was so much high energy!  A lot of ladies were drinking strange drink mixes before they started working out and they looked all done up.  Welcome to Utah County.

7 miles on the TM in my new Altras.  I liked the Altras for the most part.

12 miles at Provo Canyon with the coolest group of runners!  Near the top of the canyon it wasn't plowed and Rachel and I had to journey through the packed snow.  Fun times.  Yummy breakfast at Kneaders after.

I went to lunch at Rawtopia in Sugarhouse later and it was pure yummy!
