Utah Olympic Oval

This is the legend of "The Worlds Fastest Ice" and for Eli and I it's also
the worlds slip-pery-est ice. You see, we neither one know HOW to ice skate
but decide to go any-how. We made it around the oval rink once before Eli
suggested ( wisely) that we run the track instead.

This is one of my most favorite things to do. This long frozen winter , I ran
all my long runs up on the oval track. While skater from around the world
came in to compete, I watched the show while I ran . It is very motivating to
run next to a speed skater from Japan.

The track is state of the art cushy-soft and easy on your sore feet. It is
a constant 65 degrees and the perfect temp. The track is on the outside, The
speedskating oval next and in the center another rink and an ice hockey rink
that can get real loud. It's a 440 meter track that converts to 3 1/2 times
around equals 1 mile ( aprox ).

The Great Zamboni must cross the running track to reach the ice. I am going to
have a t-shirt made that say's - I can run faster than a Zamboni ! Because I can,
I can run faster than the Zamboni !

There is a funny sign on the track where the big garage door opens up and the
mighty Zamboni must cross and it reads, RUNNERS MUST YIELD TO THE ZAMBONI .
Now pardon my potty mouth, but NO SHEET SHERLOCK *!!*!!* That reminds me of the
Road-Runner and how he always managed to slip into a narrows crack in the side
of a mountain, while the WILE E. COYOTE hit it face on. Hard ! Flat like a Johnny
Cake and SLOWLY sliding down to the dirt.

The Kearns Oquirrh Park Fitness Center is 3 blocks away from our home and
spectacular. There is something for everyone. This facility is massive
and also can brag the Olympic Oval as it's next door neighboor. There is plenty
of parking. A huge parking lot extended to a small park with a gold medal mile
path. There is also the Oval Parking and Kearns High school parking. All within
2 minutes or less of walking.

This is the place to be. I feel so lucky to have this facility so close to
my home. Eli is in swim lessons , so we leave an hour and 1/2 early and he can
swim , slide , play games on a console have his lessons shower in the family dress-
ing rooms and still be sad about leaving. The daycare center is so affordable
and the kids club is wonderful. They do crafts, activites , give out snacks and
take Eli swimming . It is just so large and affordable. On memorial weekend the out
side pools open and they are huge . It's a full sized water park with high dive
pool and olympic pool.

There is much, much more to write about but that is enough bragging. For now.
