Running Playlist

Christmas break consisted of nothing but running, riding to the grocery store on my beach cruiser, reading trashy magazines on the beach, drinking more margaritas than I care to admit, and eating an entire Gulf of Mexico worth of seafood. It was 3 weeks of sunshine bliss in southern Florida but now it's back to Utah - with a huge slap in the face from the frigid -15 degree wind.
I spent the first 3 days shivering uncontrollably and coughing from something Utahns call "inversion". 

The first thing I did was hit the slopes skiing with a Snowbasin ski pass and new ski boots. Turns out this Missouri girl sucks at powder skiing....who knew!? My ski trip to Co when I was 10 didn't give me quite the base I need for serious skiing, so I fly down the half the slope with reckless abandon until I make an ass of myself by tumbling the other half. Whatever...with my new ski coat and boots I look damn good doing it. And with my endurance sport background I can fall down the slopes for hours on end - much to the dismay of my limbs, which are covered in bruises.

Anyway. I try to post my favorite running playlists that keep me going through the high of 10 degree days that I insist (well...more Henry insists) we run through.
Here it is folks - try not to get too inspired and do something crazy like run an ultra.

1. One Foot - Fun 
2. Shake it Out - Florence and the Machine
3. Pumped up Kicks - Foster the People
4. Waving Flag - K'Naan
5. Sexy and I know it - LMFAO (How could I have a running playlist and not put this on it?)
6. Electric Feel - MGMT
7. Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites - Skrillex
8. Feel So Close - Calvin Harris
9. Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia
10. Clique - Kanye West
11. Black to White - Felix Cartal
12. No Sleep - Wix Khalifa 

I really like sprinting during the fast/loud/more intense parts and taking it easy during the slower/quieter parts...I think more technical people call this "interval training"

Snowbasin 2/9/2013

FINALLY found a badass chica to hit the slopes with! YEAH! Yesterday the visibility was about 0 but it was a solid day at Snowbasin. I took my GoPro along with me and then edited it into a video that looks semi-interesting. That's Kate on the snowboard, the camera is attached to my head so you get a solid look at the fog and me falling a few times. Skiing/Snowboarding Movie

Weekend

As promised, here's a blog about my weekend - I know you've been sitting on the edge of your rolly computer chair waiting for it with bated breath. Friday after my guitar class, which went not-so-fabulously, as per usual, Chris and I had a little adventure to Harpoon Brewery where we met up with my ever beloved (and apparently much talked about) bff Dave. It took us a little adventuring and a little guessing to get there but we made it there and home with lots of "I have a hunch this is the way to go"-ing. It convinced me fully that we'd be great on a European back-packing trip together. We don't fight, we don't argue, we don't get frustrated, we just laugh and follow our gut. Which led us to beer! Isn't that what Germany is all about?  Anyway, Harpoon was awesome. You just go, hear about beer, and drink all you want. I picked up a growler of the cider - highly recommended. We literally guessed what bus to get on to get home and turns out it led...
