Ran 10k, including 4 strides. Went to the track close to my house so uphill then downhill then uphill to get there, and the reverse back. Did 5k on the track, which was way boring and don't plan on doing much more casual jogging around the track. This year at church I am teaching the 9 year olds, and we are studying the Book of Mormon in class, so I bought each kid a Book of Mormon on the way home from the distribution center, just under a k from my house. Then had to run up a steep hill and back down it to get home. Carrying five BofM, what a dork, eh? We have a fun day planned--after cleaning the house. Will meet a running buddy Curtis and his kids at the food court of the mall by our home (called Festival Walk, literally two minutes away, the food court is 4 minutes away, actually a bit too convenient), then go ice skating with them, then come home and dip pretzels in white chocolate. Then set up the xbox and wii in the family room for a fun family night. Rock Band, Kinnect, Mario Kart, Settlers of Catan, making a chocolate "gingerbread house". We will break it at midnight, an alternative to banging pots outside in the freezing cold, an old tradition which must go since we now live in an apartment complex where there is not a consensus on when the new year actually occurs :D We bought the kids Fanta, Martinelli's Hong Kong brand, laffy taffy. I will be making a stew tonight with my first cooking wine I bought from the online store and it looks like it may or may not be a red wine so we'll see how that goes :/ Race on Monday!!! (HM) |
