Ten miles to celebrate the start of '10 :-)

I got my brother an "all weather" football for Christmas, so we had to try it out at a local snow-covered park. First we had a HORSE-style field goal kicking challenge. When we were tied up at HORS we decided to go for a 10 throw sudden death match behind a line a certain ways out, and I ended up winning decisively :). Then we practiced running and catching, which was fun other than discovering some mud and ice beneath the snow certain places. We finished off with a field goal throwing challenge for distance, which he won. Very fun!

Fitness club 26 laps = 1 mile with alternating 10 PU and 10 reps of some ab exercise on each lap (so total 130 PU). Lap to lap, I would follow my dad, who was walking around the track, but I had to run to catch up with him and then walk until the lap was up.

Last game of pool tag with my sister, going up to Chicago for the remainder of the break.

At the fitness club, my sister and I played another game of water tag. We excluded the roped-off lanes, so we had a little over half the pool. I added the rule that you couldn't tag someone if they were completely underwater, which made for some interesting playing. While she made no effort to not be tagged, I often couldn't just swim underneath her to safety (or swim around her), so I usually had to kick off of walls to get by her. Very fun!

Running on an indoor track--since it was 26 laps to one mile, I probably either did extra laps or was just slowed down by the frequency of turns.

After the indoor track run, I stopped to do some ab exercises and say hi to a girl I knew. Then I ran to the other end of the fitness club and did some bench press work. I started at 115 and went up by 10 each time to 155, which I did 2 of, and went back down. First time doing bench press in months, I need to do more weights especially since I'm the company physical development officer next semester.
