Yesterday morning's run left me very frustrated, seeing as how the slip sliding across the ice barely classified as running. Last night, Kendall and I had a CU Women's Basketball game on the schedule. I remembered that, in challenging winters of yesteryear, I would run the steps in the Events Center while the basketball team warmed up and music blared through the sound system. The steps are challenging, but the music is great for knee lifting and arm pumping - sort of a magic wand for making it a manageable workout.
Off we went to the game, ready to enter the arena as soon as the doors opened. I dropped my outer layers at our seats, then tackled the steps. It turns out that running buddies Connie and Ron arrived at their seats while I was huffing and puffing my way around the arena - and Connie had a happy trigger finger on her camera.
I haven't gone back through my running logs since completing two trips around the Events Center steps last night, but I do believe my age was showing on this most recent attempt. Uffdah! Two Very Good Things about the workout: it was a hard run successfully completed AND I worked up a sweat - a rare delight during our recent blast of winter!
