It was pretty cold out today.  22 degrees.  It warmed up a little from the 15 degrees and snowing that was going on this morning, but still very chilly.  Beautiful though with the dusting of snow we got last night.  I need to remember to wear two shirts when its that cold.  My arms and hands were pretty numb when I got back.

10 miles out and back on Big Dry Creek 7:35 ave. 

I took a little trail off to the right after mile 4 and ran through a neighborhood for the middle couple of miles.  I had to stop for three different potty breaks and accidentally mooned a biker on the last one.  Oops!  Maybe I should jog further off the trail...I just thought I could wing it quickly because not many people were out braving the cold.  Thats what I get for running in the afternoon after eating a big breakfast and drinking a lot.  We had our friends kids this morning until 9 a.m. though so I wanted to get up and make them waffles before they had to leave.  Then Aaron took Abe and Breanne to the gym with him while Ali took her nap and I cleaned the house.  I continued cleaning after they got home 'cause I was in a zone.  You could say I was doing Marathon race pace cleaning  possibly even 10K race pace cleaning.  Three hours later I had pretty much cleaned everything...ahhh....I love having a clean house.  Too bad it doesn't last long with 3 kids and Aaron and me living in it.  Not to mention our Executive Assistant and Accountant coming in and out on week days (they don't make messes, I just feel compelled to vacuum their office and clean their bathroom often so it doesn't get gross down there.)  One time Breanne decided to use the downstairs bathroom in the middle of the day and a little while later our Accountant, Judy came upstairs to use the kids bathroom (which is never very clean except for the first 10 minutes after I clean it.)  She found me afterwards and said, "I hate to be the one to inform you, but the basement bathroom needs a little attention."  I went down to discover little Breanne poo smeared ALL OVER the toilet seat.  I just burst out laughing because that was the worst it has ever been.  It was like she didn't even attempt to use toilet paper, she just smeared it off.  Hahaha.  I have to be very patient with her, after all she's still pretty new at the wiping by herself trick.

Congratulations on your clean house. That's pretty funny that you mooned a biker. I, on the other hand, had the opportunity to sit on the very very cold seat of a Port-o-potty this morning.

I thought you guys were getting more snow north of Denver than we got down here, but it doesn't sound like it from what you said. We just got a dusting early this morning.
