I had all intentions of going with Tom today to watch him in the tu tu run. I was going to hang out for the pre race warm up, do some running myself, watch him and Michelle come in, and do some running after with Tom while we waited for awards. However, our youngest daughter came in to me in the middle of the night and said, "Mommy, I feel like I might throw up." We barely made it to the bathroom on time. I decided I had better not be gone quite as long in the morning since big brothers weren't likely to be much help to a little sister who is throwing up. So I was going to drive in separately and watch the race and then come home. When Tom got in to the race area he called me and told me to forget about coming in. The traffic, roads and parking weren't worth it, especially since the weather conditions were going to mess with the great race he had planned on running. By that time the girls had woke up and they both ate breakfast and you would never believe that one of them had thrown up in the night. All was well, even after she ate some breakfast! So I decided to go get my run in. I decided I would be happy with the bronze today since there was a few inches of snow everywhere I would be running and it was still coming down good! But once I got going and feeling the beautiful, peacefulness around me I knew I would get the gold! I decided the bronze is there to get me out and going and the gold is there to keep me out. I felt a little like a celebrity runner today. Almost everyone who saw me wished me a good morning, way to go, you're ambitious, good job, beautiful day, ect....I didn't run into any other runners but lots of people out shoveling snow or playing with their kids. They all seemed to go out of their way to wish me well. I haven't heard from Tom yet so I'm not sure how the race ended up. Snow, beautiful snow! And much needed snow! Have a great day and a great weekend!
