To the movies again, other end of the spectrum, a documentary about the Paris Opera Ballet. Quite wonderful, except a little too long.
On the way home we discussed the possibility of some ballet moves of our own when we got home, and neither could stop laughing at the ridiculousness of the thought. The dancers are quite amazing, and we, clearly, are not.... :-)
Three trailers: Broken Embraces, Me and Orson Wells, and The Young Victoria, all looked like films we could happily see. Such a different world that the multi-plex.

rhr:51 weight:141.5lbs
On Tuesday morning the G was 144 and the resting pulse was 56, total of 200. Not good on both regards. 180 seems like a good goal for a few months from now. As an intermediate step, I've at least cut down on the evening eating, though not yet eliminated it.
The point being that I really do feel better when I'm lighter. The trade-off is that I like to eat....

1 PM
speed golf 34:35 3.46 mi (10:00 / mi)
ahr:137 max:152 shoes: mudclaw 270
Still reasonably cold, 20F, but not windy, decided to go run on the Greenfield course. Not fun at all. Crust was solid enough to hold sometimes, not solid enough most of the time, so very tiring and quite annoying.
So I changed plans. For some reason they have plowed some cart paths (perhaps for legitimate reasons, perhaps not), so I checked out all of them. And that got me back to the car in a respectable amount of time (I was shooting for 30-45 minutes). Running was real slow, but still seemed like enough.

2 PM
trail running 21:59 1.99 mi (11:01 / mi)
ahr:138 max:161 shoes: mudclaw 270
But right by the gym is the trail network that runs along the Poet's Seat ridge in Greenfield, where I often run in the winter, so I took a small detour to check out the trail conditions. The trails get a fair bit of traffic, mainly walkers, so they are usually packed out.
And in fact they were packed out, though they also looked very bumpy and a bit icy.
And the next thing I knew I was off for another run, purely to see what the trails were like. And they were just like the little bit I could see from the road, very bumpy and a bit icy. But totally runnable, if a little stressful on the ankles, and I needed to be a little nimble on the sidehill cants because I wasn't wearing any studs. But still, totally runnable. Good to know.
And then, feeling quite virtuous, off to a sauna and shower. And even a few crunches, because I sure need them.
