cuddling with my running shoes

I know i write often about my running. usually to report any accomplishment i've done, or some unusual happenings. This weekend however, was a great weekend. I reached my first 14 miler. I'm used to running 6 miles a day so the first 12 weren't bad. when I hit thirteen, my body rebelled and i really had to fight to finish that list mile. still, it felt great to get that far.
I almost bought my first snowboard boots this weekend. i went to backcountry.com and tried on a pair of boots. they were way to tight. so ordered new ones, but i waited for 25 minutes in their lobby before the guy that was supposed to get them said they would be right up. looks like the dude forgot me. so i just left. will be another day. but i'm determined to get out at least once this season, even for a few moments. I need to get some use out of my board.
Later that day i had my 3rd class in Intro to Salsa, I really like our teacher, heather. she's so much fun in her teaching. She asked me to help in one of her dances and i froze, so i requested we start again, and went better the second time. she's such a powerful personality. I like going to that dance club. i'm sure to be taking the next ballroom and salsa class there. Dancing was something i loved so very much when i was at byu and have felt badly about neglecting that affection. So going back has been a wonderful experience.
i was going to just rest the remainer of the day but some girls from the ward invited a few of us over for a game night. i was pretty fun. just hung out and played games. we tried guiatine, a gamea bout the french revolution where you get to behead nobles. next was cranium. also a fun game, but harder that it sounded, i feel much more complacent with my incompetence now, but more adept in my sculting skills. we then played a game called spoons. never heard of it before so it was a challenge. got my but kicked. which was ok. it was fun. headed home because with my training schedule i really need to get sleep for my body to recover. feel good today. but will see if i can run tonight, there is a major snow storm coming in tonight.
sunday was an excellent day. went to choir practice. we had to change the song we were singing because we are singing for ward conference next week. and the songs we were going to sing just weren't polished enough. this is the 3rd week in a row that the guys have outnumbered the girls in our choir. the sounds are beginning to mesh well. i hope we can continue to progress. we will be singing i believe in christ. such a wonderful testimony song. juliann's warmups are so good, just help to really get my vocals in sync. it feels so great to let my voice go and sing my testimony of the Gospel. such a wonderful feeling. later that afternoon i had an interview with the bishop to get my temple recommend. just need my stake interview now. it was a very great day.
