Very sad news...Tom and I, along with the rest of our neighborhood sat and watched our friend's house burn down last night. We had all been to a ward party when someone came to tell them their house was on fire. We don't know the total damage right now, but I am sure they have lost everything! What a sad holiday season for them. It made us take a look again at our own lives and realize the many blessings we have. Tom went out early and picked up 10 or so miles and then came back for me. I thought waiting and having the sunshine would help out. But it was soooo cold! The temp was maybe high teens, with the wind chill it was like 5! Tom said that if we went down to the river bottoms we wouldn't have the wind as bad....WRONG! It was just as bad and then we had to go UP a hill INTO the wind! We thought that when we turned the corner we would be home free...WRONG! The cold wind slapped the side of our faces, we wondered if they would be black with frostbite when we finally made it home. But it was kind of cool to watch the drifting snow blowing past us giving us a "heavenly-cloud like" feel! I feel like it was a good run anyway...here's the lowdown. 10:31 10:22 12:06 (eek, up hill into the cold, cold wind!) 9:22 9:49 2:35 (pace 10:20) Have a great day today. Don't forget to count your blessings! I know I am counting and I have lots to be grateful for. |
