I got to bed early last night since I'll be up late tonight playing Mrs. Clause.  My run today was on the treadmill at the rec. center.  We got a pretty good amount of snow last night and I didn't really want to trudge through it.  Our gym's child care wasn't open today and I wanted to take the kids swimming afterwards anyway so  the Paul Derda rec. center is a great option because they have an awesome kids pool.  I put the kiddos in Child Care for an hour while I ran and then we swam together for an hour and a half afterwards.  I could tell my Thera Cane work yesterday broke up some serious adhesions because my legs felt pretty hashed today.  As in sluggish, tired, beat-up overly worked from all that pressure point pushing.  I just couldn't get enough of it!  I pushed in the morning and then again in the evening.  We watched Avatar (the Japanamation kids shows) last night with our kids and I sat there for a good hour pushing on my legs with the Thera Cane.  I'm sure they'll feel better by tomorrow.

We're going to our friends house (the same friends we had Thanksgiving dinner with) this afternoon/evening to enjoy Christmas Eve with them and let the kids play.  Then Christmas Day will be a fun family day and the day after Christmas we're driving to Utah to visit our parents and siblings.  The kids are looking forward to seeing their Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles, and playing with their cousins

Merry Christmas Eve!!!

I may have to look into that Thera Cane. Have a safe trip to Utah!

Merry Christmas!
