I am not sure if there are many more things as beautiful as the Riverbottoms on a foggy winter morning. I know that sounds like a Hallmark card, but seriously!! It is breathtaking. I love how the branches on trees ice up and how the clouds just lay low and hover around all of the trees. There is sort of a magic to it. It was just what I needed after a pretty rough week. And, Today was my first day "running" all week. Tyler took the earlier shift so I met up with JaNae at 8:30 which was so fun, being I haven't ran with her for weeks. We had planned on going 10 miles but at about mile 3 JaNae started getting some stomach pains that she tried fighting through until about mile 7.5. At that point, we were going to turn down a side street to add on some mileage but she was ready to go back to her car (which I think she needed to, I do not run well when I don't feel well), so we parted ways and I turned down the road intent on getting the full 10 miles. As I started adding up the mileage that would take me back to the car, I realized that this wouldn't get me to 10 miles either, so I pretty much improvised and just kept going around until I knew I would hit 10 miles. However, I was feeling really good so I decided to take another side street that took me around, adding on an additional mile. So, all in all, it was 11.5 miles. It felt really really good to get out and run and again, enjoy the views that come this time of year. Now I am off to plan my Young Women Lesson. Happy Saturday!!
