1.37? Drawing a blank on if I ran or rode.
Son had a horrid day and stepson's back started hurting him before he learnt his grandfather was flying to AZ for back surgery. Tomorrow has to be better.
Got fixings for cole slaw I had to get ready for Dorcas (ladies guild) party at church.. Running late so I brought ingredients to work and made it at lunch. Couldn't get the report to work and ignored 3:00 alarm and kept working to 5:30 when plant was shut down. Got to car and couldn't find keys. Made phone calls for help and then again to cancel when I found them between the seats in car. Car was running on empty so stopped for gas but didn't fill all the way up for lack of time. Arrived just at 7 for 6:30 meeting. Hadn't started eating eat yet and a couple women still arrived after me. 25 were there and there was a lot of silliness and laughter. |

| | Store run for dinner. Stop at Dollar General to get $20 of cake mixes for MG food drive. Just made it to interesting Bible class where I had flashes of understanding how Moses' story tied in to Jesus' and ours. The Bishop's example was soup, how everything is intermingled. Got to see Karen for minutes afterwards and wish her a great Germany trip before driving to Matteson in <45 minutes for Master Gardener party and becoming official. LOTS of good food and conversation. Then back to Lemont for Bun/Creatine blood test for yearly MRI on the 14th. Then Salmon / Rib (leftover beef ribs from Sat. roast) broccoli and cauliflower dinner and more good conversation with Sarah. Great day. |

| | Didn't get out this morning. It's already almost an hour late for delivery. Hopefully afterwards. I think I need it. |

| | Store run, then short day at work. Got the rest of the mileage in getting ready for overnight guests. I never thought that I would say it buy I'm so glad that I had my own children as young as I did. In a few more years I don't know if I would have the energy to keep up with them. I do know that my attempt at daily miles has given me more energy that I had a few years ago. |

| | Went for a peaceful walk in the sunshine with Steve. What a guy. I'm glad that he is calm and understanding. |

| | Just pedometer miles, but a very pleasant Sunday with Sunday School, parent visit and long "conversation" hearing my oldest granddaughter play. |

| | Woke up to an inch of snow, enough to lose motivation to do morning miles. Maybe at lunch? Drove home from work to library thinking it would be too dark, but it was light enough to go 1.5 around the neighborhood. |

| | Finally made a store run. Great. The weather has warmed. |

Didn't put on the pedometer, or I would have racked up a few.
Saturday morning was dashing to grandparent duty so they could drive to Oswego to have lunch and go to the movie's with my daughter-in-law's family without the youngest and then dashing back so that we could get to my dad's family party. It's unbelieveable how fast the kids grow. The littlest at the party was 2 1/2 and kept right up with the three other little girls in 1st, 2nd, 6th grade. Although Hope informed me that she is now a preteen, not a child. The boys in 8th and sophomore were polite, and helpful to their moms and way too grown. Reminded me of my own and how there are two very fortunate girls out there that will marry them some day.
My own two "kids" really made me proud. My daughter and her husband arriving before my parents and my son calling as the whole family was gathered around the tree to wish us all a Merry Christmas. Too bad it wasn't easy to talk.
We didn't get home until almost midnight, the latest we have stayed in years.

| | Store mileage, but it was something. |

| | All pedometer miles indoors. I think that stairs migh skew the distance because I was running in circles in the house for the majority. |

| | Got a bit more snow last night. It's all pretty white with squirrels frolicking. Full day with meeting at work then relaxation in Homewood. We'll see about distance. |

| | Been bad at getting out in the cold and snow (unlike my crazy son), but he's at a lot more dedicated and practiced at this. I went and saw the "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" with my friend and her daughter which was a lot more fun although probably not as good for me. |

| | I went to Walgreens to get vitamins, then over to McDonalds for breakfast, then I went to the library, then back to home. Weather is still clear enough to continue, but walking isn't.
