We were awakened early this morning by heavy rain on the tile roof. They don't install rain gutters on house in the desert so when it rains it makes a racket. As California continues to be hammered by seasonal storms, we are the recipients of what is left over.
Dana went off to church this morning to pray, I think for sunshine. I spent a busy morning mentally preparing myself for the day ahead. Right.....
After a light lunch we headed for the Rillito wash for a run, as it turned out in the sunshine. I did 12k, Dana did 8k. It was my last long run before I tackle the Lost Dutchman 1/2 marathon in Apache Junction next Sunday. We are still both dealing with exercising at 2,600 feet elevation. Also, the dry air has an affect on breathing. Luckily Apache Junction is only 1,700 feet elevation.
After a short trip to a not so local Ticket Master outlet to pick up our tickets for the Accenture World Golf Championship which is being held next week at a golf course near Tucson, we headed home in time to catch the kick-off of the Super Bowl game. As Canadians this is the first time we have been able to see the special super bowl commercials, and the game. I heard last week that a national poll was done in the U.S. concerning the commercials. The result was that 51% of respondents indicated that they watch the game to see the commercials. I'm not in the 51% but I have to say, some of them were very funny and I did find myself staying tuned in during the commercial breaks. It helped that it was a great game.
Here are a couple of pictures from the day. Note the snow on the mountain peaks which was new over night.
