To bring in the new year, John and I stayed in, watched Public Enemy with Johnny Depp and had our own toast for the new year! It was lost of fun. I had seen it before but it was still good the second time around. We were so tired by the time the clock struck 12 that it wasn't to soon after we were in bed.
We slept in a little bit and then I made myself start 2010 out right by running 10 miles...
There is a lake about a mile from John's house called Lake Hefner... it's exactly 10 miles around it. I knew one of the things I had to get done while I was in OK City was to get some miles in so I would be prepared for the Mississippi Blues half marathon next week. I did okay.. there was still lots of snow on the ground that covered parts of the trail. You think running in sand is hard... running in snow is harder! But I made it around and felt really good that I had made myself do it!
John and I didn't do much the rest of the afternoon but rest, it was so nice. Later that afternoon we decided to go downtown and snow tube...
This sounded so cool when John mentioned it! I was really excited until I got there and saw how tall the slope was. I'm a little scared of heights and this didn't look good. Imagine someone constructing a slope from the upper deck of a minor league baseball field and the slope ending by the pitchers mound (did I mention they iced it down). There were lots of people that went ahead of us so that helped me out a lot. Then it was my turn... It turned out to be really fun!! John and I got to go down about 10 times... I was so worn out when we got done but it was so worth it!!! Here are a few pictures:
The Slope!
This is me!
Getting out of the tube!
Here's John!
After we were done snow tubing, we went to a cute little pizza by the slice place near by. It was so good, I was so hungry but the time we got done.
We had decided to end the night by going to the movies. John had told me about a really nice theater that he had wanted to try, it was a Warren Theater. This theater was so nice it put the Malco to shame... it was fashioned like theaters were in the 40's, even the workers attire looked like something out of the past. We were in a small theater, but there was so much leg room, you couldn't even stick your feet on the seats in front of you. And the larger theaters had balconies. It was so nice! We ended up going to see Up in the Air.
Up in the Air, starring George Clooney and Anna Kendrick, was about a man who spends over 300 day on the road for his job and then almost gets it taken away from him (an idea from Anna Kendrick's character). (He really enjoys traveling for his job and never being home or in one place). I thought it was a pretty good movie, some of it was pretty depressing, you really what things to work out for George Clooney's character, but it seems that bad things follow him. It turns out okay in the end though.
