Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

A nice 10K with the hubby on yet another cold, crisp morning!  Overall time 1:03.  Day off with the family to have some fun! 

Wow!  The moon was amazing this morning!  It started out quite high in the western sky.  Big and bright and round!  Tom and I watched it as it slowly set down behind the mountains in a brilliant red!  It was fun to watch how much the moon changed in the hour that we were out!  That was the prettiest part of our run. 

The ugliest part was probably when Tom slid into first base.  Actually it was an awesome slide!  If he were playing baseball he would have been safe!  Unfortunately it wasn't baseball, it was running and it was on the road!  That was right when he met up with me.  He was out for 2 miles before me.  So he got six more in with no problems from the fall.  Hopefully it doesn't stiffen up for tomorrow! 

The six miles felt great.  I am feeling good with 6 a day so far. If all continues in my favor I should hit about 38-39 miles this week.  My highest so far is around 36.  Tom and I are signed up for a 5K on March 8th.  I hope I don't regret that.  I may want to push harder than I am ready for.  Oh well, we'll see what happens.

We had a fun day up at Park City and Midway yesterday.  The girls, (ages 7 and 10), thought that swimming in a mountain in the winter was a pretty cool thing!   The boys had fun on the slopes.  Everyone was tired and went to sleep good!  Now I am off to help at the school for an hour and then I get to spend the day with my parents and my brother.  A very needed day for all of us! 

Ran the first three miles with Beth and the last three alone.   Beth hasn't been able to get out with me in quite awhile, it was great to have her with me again.  She is about 9 weeks pregnant so she will probably keep things quite easy, but wants to run with me again about 3 times a week.  It will be nice to have her back with me more often.  

I listened to some conference talks on my mp3 today for the last three miles.  I wasn't sure if that would keep me going or not, but it was great!  One talk especially really reached out and grabbed me!  I couldn't quite control my emotions as I listened and ran.  I'm sure people who passed me wondered if they should stop and help me out.  

Went out for 6 with Tom this morning. Didn't work out for me. Meds for a very miserable infection on an empty stomach and out for a run doesn't work. Bad day so far. Hopefully things will go better. Try to get the rest in after work. I wish I could have finished this morning. It is always kind of fun to run in that light falling snow.

Afternoon: Got in only one mile this morning.  Came home from work to try to get 5 more.  Was only able to get 2.8 more.  This infection isn't the kind I should mention so I will just give you a hint of what kind it is.  It starts with "B" and ends with "ladder".  Anyway, it doesn't let you get too far from home.  Today's miles are the most miserable miles I have ever ran!  I think I will take it upon myself to award me at least 100 commando points for today!  I can't wait to cash those in on a great run! 

Oh the things we tell our cyber friends!  :o)  

Even with the rain slapping at my face into the wind on part of this run it was tons better than yesterday's run!  Yeah!  First three with Beth.  Nice to have her company again! 

My family is having a Monk season finale party tonight.  It is the second of a two parter.  We love that show.  If you have never seen it you really ought to try it out sometime.  My parents were going to be here too, but my mom called this morning and said they have to cancel because of sickness.  One reason I was happy they were coming was because it gave me a good excuse to have to really get in and clean my house.  The house gets a lot of neglect lately.  I guess I'd better pretend they are still coming and get a lot done today. 

Kind of just a mediocre run today.  Would have liked to get 8 or 9 in but with the way I have been feeling the past few days I am  really glad to get seven. I had to do some walking breaks today, not the greatest time or pace.   I'm  really glad tomorrow is Sunday.

Tom and I finally met the famous Clay!  Nice to meet you!
