6.5 miles, east high loop in my Hattori's.  Things feel great...in fact, I probably don't even have to say that anymore because I feel completely healed up from all my previous issues/injuries and I can run in my minimal shoes everyday now so I'm feeling pretty good about things! 

I was really hoping to run yesterday to get an even 30 miles this week, but my work pulled me off the night shift to work the day shift yesterday.  Funny thing is I would much prefer to work the night shift AND it's easier to run when I work nights than it is when I work days.  You people who are alive during the day all day and who work during the day are crazy.

P.S. last week I had said it was 6 months since I had seen my friends, but Ogden was just 4 months ago, right?  Either way, it had been awhile. =0)

Glad you had a good run. I can't believe you prefer working nights. I worked nights for a couple months once. It turned me into a paranoid schizophrenic. I'm better now.

You worked nights once?! I didn't know that. Yes, it does take some getting used to. But I have learned over time that I only have to sleep 4-7 hours during the day if I work at night, which is much better than missing 13 hours of stuff at home while I'm at work during the day. -I can see James in the morning before he goes to work and I'm home when he gets home from work. I can go to church no matter what. I can get my run in before James is home. I can get dinner done as well. In the future, I'll be home to get my kids ready for school and I'll be there when they get home from school and I'll be able to eat dinner with them. (I'll miss bedtime, but James can have some alone time with them which I figure is really good anyway). SEE? The benefits are undeniable! As long as you get naps here and there I think I can get just as much sleep. I'm sure there are still side effects...but oh well..=0) Oh, and the deep sleep that only comes after being awake forever is delicious! Haha. :)

I agree! I worked nights on weekends! Really best scenario for stay at home mom!
