Well I did it!!! First time that I've hit 30 miles in a week since mid October. Maybe that's why things have felt a little bit hard this week (duh). I didn't think it had been that long since I've had a good running week, I guess the body is entitled to rebel a little. Todays theme was "running on emotion." Last night was also the first night that I've had a husband and all kids home on Friday night since late Aug. (Not including Hawaii, but that's not the same.) The girls all were in seperate directions and Ted and I went to dinner but it was sooo nice to just hang out as they came and went and have a chance to just talk with them and each other! We stayed up way too late, till 12:00 waiting for the oldest to come home, and then talked with her till around 1:00. She will be leaving for college in Jan. and although is an adult and very independant has a hard time with some of the house expectaions. (You know that old show Growing Pains? I used to love to watch it... and now I realize how well the title fit!) I know it must be as hard on her as it is us! Then I read Lulu's "Thankful list" on the forum before I headed out today and I felt so bad that she would be leaving us so soon! Well we talked about all the things that we wanted to do today, that currently aren't getting done, so I'm off to get started!!! |
