Thank you George Washington and Abraham Lincoln for being born in order for me to celebrate your birthdays by having a day off! :)  I don't think you two had anything to do with the weather but it was fantastic today! 

I ran this today in 33:33, which is actually about two minutes faster than my fastest 5k.  That is something, isn't it?  I am excited to run in The Run for the Red on March 5th here in Provo.  It is going to be a blast.  I keep telling people that it is my goal to blow my PR out of the water.  It will be cool to see how fast I run on race day!  Yipee.

The run was nice.  I loved that the sun was shining.  I was cold the first few kilometers, but I eventually was comfortable.  Imagine that, wearing shorts and warm in February. Awesome!  I do love Utah winters.  I did feel like throwing up during the third kilometer.  I guess a bacon cheeseburger and fries for lunch doesn't make for the best running fuel.

Alice is fast!!!

 Ran my fastest mile yet.  Slowly adding milage is good.  It feels good!

It is hard to only run one mile.  My body seems to like running about three miles.  That is pretty dang cool.  I have come a long way!

Note to self:  Do not take a phone call mid-run!

This was not the best run.  I did okay the first 1/3 and then wanted to poke my eyes out the rest of the run.  It really didn't help that I answered my phone a little over half way.  It made for me not wanting to finish even more.  I actually even thought about calling a friend to come and get me.  PATHETIC.  It's alright though, because I still finished and  that is sometimes all you can ask for!

Snow on the eyelashes is not Alice's favorite!

This was a great run.  I decided to run a new route, which took me to the cemetery.  Some people find it a little bit weird that I find cemeteries calming and that sometimes I secretly go running or walking inside one!  I really liked running there today.  The snow started just before I got to the cemetery and truth be told, I actually liked the snow today.  It was light and fluffy and wasn't sticking to the pavement, which was good because I really didn't want to run on the treadmill for my longest run of the week!  Very nice!
