I ran over to the high school and ran twenty times around the track.  I timed a few miles.  I wasn't trying to do a tempo run, but wanted to keep it brisk.  Here are my mile splits.

 It was hard to get going at first, but I didn't mind.

I went to the track again. I haven't made much time for trying to figure out running routes here, but I'm enjoying reading, visiting with family, and helping out where I can at my in-laws. I've even worked on Will's Christmas stocking a few times.  Vacationing is fun.

I miss the jogging stroller.  There have been a number of times I've wanted to take Will out for a run.  (Will's a great running partner.)  However, the smaller stroller is easier for traveling.

I ran on the treadmill.  I forgot how boring treadmills are.  I changed my pace every two minutes and watch the movie, Sweet Home Alabama.  It helped to pass the time.

I ran on the treadmill again.

Saturday, we go back home. I am excited to return to normal life. I look forward to working on Christmas presents and writing Christmas cards. Hopefully, I can get them done before December 16, so I can get them in the mail in time. I think my excitement to get home will help me endure the forever long plane ride and car ride. Overall, I think the plane ride back will go better because 1) I'll know more of what to expect when flying with a sixteen month old and 2) we'll have tail wind.

I ran with my husband today!  It was fun.  I forget how explosive he is--a great sprinter.  We did about 10 strides.  I doubt they were official strides.  They varied in distance 50 meters to 100 meters.  Then I ran another 2 miles.
