Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

We waited around today for various reasons and didn't get out the door till around noon.  But that delay was well worth it!  B E A U T I F U L!  Shorts and short sleeves on Jan. 2.  However, I'm afraid I'm going to be paying for it in April or May.  : (  

Tom and I went 3 miles together then I turned back the same three to take the doggy for his mile.  This week we are lucky (?) enough to be tending our rowdy grand'doggy'.  I decided to take our grumpy older dog with the playful younger dog both on the last mile.  They were a little crazy but seemed to enjoy things...I went a different way that added a little extra and there were dogs all the way down that street causing us trouble.  I was very glad to get home  without being tripped or tied up by the doggies! 

Tom and I decided to shake things up a bit today and run a random route.  The wind was a bit nippy but shorts and short sleeves again.  Crazy.

Tom was doing his speed workout today.  I ran with him for a mile warm up then ran in the same area and watched him on his first four 1/2 mile repeats.  He looked awesome!  I was impressed that he didn't seem to look like he was even doing much more than a jog.  Good job Tom!

I did two 1/2 mile repeats without looking at my watch....just ran hard to see what I could do.  Two was enough for me.  : )  Later when I got home I looked and they were both at a 7:11 pace.  "Kind of" fun for 2 but too fast for me to do more at this time.  I just enjoyed the rest of the run by myself...in shorts...in the sun!  

When I got home I took the 2 doggies out for a mile...in shorts...in the sun!

 After the run I decided to take the outside Christmas light down...in shorts...in the sun! 

Theme for today..."In shorts...in the sun!"  Very strange for Jan. 4th in Utah!  I will enjoy it while I can!

Tom and I ran 6 then came back to get the doggy and the grand doggy for the last mile.  Having both the dogs sure makes it tricky...they are so competitive.  Today is our last day with Mu Chan the grand doggy.  

After the run I was tempted to go out and mow the back lawn to clean up all the leaves that are still there.  But that temptation passed and I didn't do it. : )

This morning was our first snow challenge in a while.  Luckily there was still a good crowd that met together to slog through the dark, winter morning.  It snowed the whole time we were out there.  We were all covered in the white stuff and trying to find the best footing the whole way.  Kind of crazy and we all felt like we were working harder than our pace was showing, (I guess that is because we were), but we had a nice time out with the gang.
