Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

Six miles with Tom in the perfect morning weather.  We did some striders on the mile every mile.  Kind of fun to try to run really fast for a short amount of time.  We finished strong and it felt good.  

Doe....a deer, lots of female deer, and even a couple cute fawns.

Ray...a drop of golden sun peeking over the mountains at us.

Me....and my cute hubby enjoying being active together in the nice morning hours.

Fa...we went sorta fa.  : )

So....I want to make some cookies.

La....ts and 'la'ts of cookies.  : )

Tea...no, milk is best with cookies!

And that will bring us back to lots more doe....they were all over the place today!

The wind sure was blowin' this morning!  We have to run into it at some point of our run but we usually choose not to do it right at the beginning, which is the choice we made today.  We start out with it at our backs but miles 2, 3 and 4 get it in the face.  The funny thing is that our big windmills at the mouth of the canyon weren't even moving.  I guess they had them turned off for some reason....too much wind?  Is that possible?  Anyway, it's a waste of wind if you ask me.  Might as well be making some energy with it!

Today marks 9 months since our second son went on his LDS mission to Denmark.  It is so fun to get our weekly letters from him!  He is doing well and learning so much as he shares his testimony of the gospel with the Danes.  It is a wonderful experience to send missionaries out into the world and watch their growth! 

Good luck to Terry and his family today as they send their oldest into the MTC! 

Tom went off with the speedy guys to do Payson Canyon so I did my neighborhood 6 miler.  The only problem with the neighborhood 6 is that it takes me straight into the wind for the first 3 miles!  (But then I get the last 3 with the wind at my back!)

Tomorrow I will take a rest day to get ready for my first 18 miler of the year and also to take my son in for surgery for a deviated septum.  I'm hoping he will finally be able to breathe good after 22 1/2 years of really struggling!  Funny thing is, our son's name is Camron and when you look at meanings of names you will find that Camron means crooked nose.  So now that they are going to straighten things out will we need to change his name?  Maybe we shouldn't have named him Camron in the first place and he wouldn't have had this problem.  : )

Out the door at 5:00 this morning and into the wind!  A little warm and muggy until we got down into the river bottoms where it felt better but we still had the lovely wind for a few miles. 

Not a soul around in the dark morning except a car with two lost girls trying to find Mapleton Park for the buses up to Hobble Creek.   They were hopelessly lost as they were in the wrong town!  They were here from S. Jordan and seemed happy to find someone who could help them find their way to the correct town.  Hopefully they made it.

Today is our ward service day.  We signed up for the easier things like writing to the missionaries and working on quilts since we knew the manual labor wasn't going to be quite so enjoyable today.

We are happy Camron has 24 hours behind him now on the recovery of his surgery.  Things went well during and after but he has been kind of miserable.  It will be nice when he is all better and enjoying his new ablility to breathe.

Now it's time for a nap.
