11 miles real easy.  Weather-- 29 degrees but humid so slightly cooler but felt very nice.  Lots of areas to watch for "black ice" or "white ice" on concrete due to the humidity freezing the top layer out there.  I left at 7:23am.  11 miles at 8:13 AP.  So lovely.  Felt so nice to take it down today and relax, enjoy myself.  I feel MUCH better today than Saturday.  The problem with Saturday's run was 4.5 hours of sleep and just getting better from a slight catch of the strep throat.  Achiness gone now and so are the the spots on my throat.  Probiotics, vitamins and iron a big cure.  My throat barely hurt on Thursday but I looked at it and white patches were on my tonsils.  I was achy all over but no headache.   My daughter Brooke  (10) ended up with the FULL blown flu Saturday night.  High fever, body aches, slight sore throat and runny nose.  We were supposed to go skiing today but she feels awful.  Such a beauty of a ski day too.  Oh well.  Amber (8)  prevented our last planned trip to the slopes.  We are running out of weekends  I can go.

PM:  I think there is something wrong with me.  I was looking outside watching the night begin to fall (it was 6:10pm) and I just couldn't watch this beautiful day go by without more miles in it because what if tomorrow it storms and is freezing once again...?  So I quickly got on my running gear (except I wore my regular dress socks, they felt soooo comfortable to run in, they are ankle type, so corny) before my husband got back from Subway with Courtney and didn't even tell my other kids...So rejuvenating.  My muscles all felt sooooo good.  Like I hadn't even run today.  I did have MAJOR stomach cramps and had to stop three times to potty but STILL this was sooooo worth it.    I felt I could have gone on for at least 10 more miles.  I truly am going INSANE.  Anyway got in another 10 miles at 8:10 AP.  When it was dark it was quite hard to see my path on the roads.  Sooo glad the ice had melted.  I am so glad I didn't fall in a pot hole.  So loved this feelin' in my run.  I live for these runs minus potty stops  : D.   I guess I don't have to run before work tomorrow now.  I can sleep in til 5:30 am unless I am called to a different hospital and have to get up earlier.
