I have four kids and one husband.  For even more thrills and chills visit my day-to-day blog here.  I'd recommend reading with your socks off.

5 miles easy at 8:11 pace I think.  My mother-in-law has been trying to make me wear a scarf on my last couple of runs because I've had a sore throat and I think she doesn't want me to go completely south and have to be in charge of the kiddos for longer than her daily hour (I think this is the appropriate time to mention that I really do have one of the best mother-in-laws EVER).  When she tied it around my neck on Saturday I went outside, stretched, took the scarf off and put it on the bumper of my car so I'd remember to pick it up when I got back, and went running.  For some reason today I didn't take it off - I think it was curiosity to see if anything positive really could come from a strangling piece of cloth around the neck - scarfs are a foreign piece of clothing for this gal.  And it was actually nice.  I pulled the scarf up over my mouth and nose for a mile or two of the run when my face got particularly frozen and it was a sweet, warm relief if slightly suffocating.  It reminded me of running in a gas mask in my old Army ROTC days - its a great way to get one-hundred percent focused on how you breath.  So I guess for this entry I'm officially endorsing the scarf.  I'll be right here waiting to be paid my millions by scarf-makers.

29 days 'til the husband.  I wish I knew how many days until the inversion is over!!
