fitness. sushi. not having to tailor my pants.

here are a few of my stats as of late:

my fastest mile run so far - 6 minutes 5 seconds

i have run just over 80 miles in the last 30 days

i can do 20 push ups in 19 seconds (i had o time me this weekend. i am weird like that.)

ok, now i said them out loud and i have to beat them next month.  though i do not think i can run any faster than that and i am not kidding.

thanks to lehua, christine and ruth for a superb evening!  
did you know that ann taylor loft carries double zero pants in petite! well, they do. i like the way the slim fit 0 fits better than the curvy fit 00.  dress pants that fit are hard for me to find and i always end up paying double because i have to get every pair tailored in the waist, butt and length.  not cheap my friends.  we came out of the restaurant with full bellies and four minutes until they closed (luckily they were nice enough to stay open late).  we ran in there and i did speed shopping with lehua's help and i am proud to say i am wearing un-tailored pants at work today.  sweet!  thanks lehua. you rock for more than one reason.

more weekend and stuff

did you read about aksel svindal in the march issue of outside magazine?   i read it on my phoenix trip and brought it home so o could read it.  good article written by hampton sides.  one of o's favorite authors.  o got me a 2 year subscription to outside as a valentines gift.  way better than flowers in my opinion.

saturday night take out.  best mexican food in salt lake in my opinion.

more teasing gus with the mini stuffed dog.

gus taking advantage of a day off.

we had a nice visit to the natural history museum with the neighbors.  they are good company always.

o went to this movie with justin and nathan.  he just walked in the door.

now i am headed for some sushi with the women folk. 

toodles for now,

cyr

i am still here

did you miss me?  nah, didn't think so.  here is my weekend so far...

had me another samurai massage at my favorite spa friday night.  oh how i needed it so badly.  and then a long relaxing sit in the steam room (there is a gigantic geode in there all lit up)  and then the sauna and then some peppermint tea.  i stayed until they closed.  then i went home, took a hot shower and went to bed.

i went snowshoeing on saturday morning.  it was superb!  i did dog lake from spruces.  most of the people doing that trail were on ski's.  the weather was perfection.  i ended up taking off my jacket, hat and gloves.  had me a 20 minute chat with a totally rad lady at the top while we sat in the sun by the lake and ate some calories...

this stuff is so great to throw in your backpack.  just squeeze into your pie hole.  mmmm. o bought them for me.

at the beginning of the trail i was throwing on my snow shoes and three dudes were throwing on their ski's and talking about how to use their beacons.  i was waiting for them to go because i couldn't get around them.  we said friendly hello's and one of them said i could go ahead and get in front of them because they would be talking for a minute.  i said thanks and he said, "though, i'm sure we will pass you up in a minute."  palease, they never even caught up to me.  dudes, they think they are so bad ass.

in the afternoon o and i headed to the new natural history museum.  it. is. beautiful.  whoever designed it should win an award.  we didn't have time to see everything, so we are heading back tomorrow with our neighbors to see the rest of it.

today after church, i snuck away during fry family nap time(i don't nap) and went snowshoeing again!  i headed up the desolation trail in millcreek canyon. 

and now i am going to bed.  sweet dreams. 

kisses,

cyr

15 minutes to kill

just goofing around... hope your wednesday is happy.

instagram overload from phoenix

i stayed at the ritz carlton in phoenix for three days last week for a meeting.  one of my coworkers and i are imagers for a study that is actually on imaging retinopathy of prematurity.

i had some time to get in a couple of short runs, swim in the pool twice, go to a superb dinner with my travel mates(i almost finished a 12 oz new york steak that melted in my mouth.  when the waiter came over to ask if we wanted dessert i said, "dude, i just ate half a cow." and he said, "i know, i am proud of you".) and get together with my friend and her baby girl.

the weather was perfection but, i am so excited to get my snowshoes on this weekend.

hope you have a sex filled valentines day if you want!

xo,

cyr

ps  i am wearing my neon yellow dress today.  i feel bright.
