Happy Halloween!!! What a slacker I've been in my running!! Maybe I need to find another race so I have something looming in the future that gets my lazy self out in the freezing cold!! At least I'm done with the Twilight series, though, so I won't be so obsessed with reading instead of doing what I should - like running! I'm not sure I'm totally happy with the ending of the Twilight series, by the way. I spent most of my run today trying to reconcile myself to it. lol I took my old route this morning and almost did it without walking. At my halfway point, my legs started walking without consulting my head first. Ugh. Today was my first day to run in the cold. It was 35 degrees. It wasn't as bad as I thought, although I've been coughing ever since I got home. ha! I think it's somehow a city law that Halloween can't be warm in Colorado Springs! It's been in the 70s until today! It's like that every year - relatively warm until Halloween when all the poor children are dressed up in paper thin Princess or Superman costumes. Poor trick or treaters! Luckily we don't have children who know what they're missing when we don't go Trick or Treating. That lucky window will be closing soon, though, I'm sure, as Hayley gets older. Hee,hee! We went to the Ward trunk or treat but had to leave before the candy was passed out because Audrey was soooo tired. My oldest daughter is on her way to Denver Children's hospital today for a gait analysis. This is the first test of hers that I have not been there for. She's going with Daddy while I stay home with the babies. I feel very weird not being the one to take her. I know it would've been miserable taking the babies - or even just Audrey; but I can't help feeling like I'm the one who has to be there for every medical test or therapy session that she has. The results of the analysis will tell us which braces will be best for her (and if she's over braced right now) and if there are any surgeries that they recommend now or in the future. It's a 3 hour analysis!!! And the report will be about 20 pages long! Crazy, huh? Hopefully it will be very helpful, though. |
