10 mile classic loop with the Newtons...well, George and Chad. It took me until mile 6 to finally start feeling good and warmed up, don't know if that is a good sign or not...maybe it was because that was the first of the downhill miles :) AP: 8:29 splits: 8:17, 8:29, 8:37, 8:40, 8:54, 8:41, 8:17, 7:54, 8:29, 8:31 Then I came home and slept for a bit...I love a good morning nap cuddled in a warm blanket. Oh, also on my Christmas wish list? An electric blanket :) Adam's music class was canceled this week because of Thanksgiving, so he could finally go to swim class! He was SO excited. I was going to do some spin first, but by the time I got my act together and got to the gym I didn't want to pay for just 20 minutes - they charge by the hour. So Adam and I walked around the track and punched the punching bags until class started. A nice water aerobics class for me then swim time for him. Besides being freezing cold he loved it! Then I got to visit with a good friend that moved 6 months ago in her new home and my family and I went out to dinner to my dad's favorite hamburger joint - Ab's - and we got a FAT boy. Best burger around and even my boys ate theirs up and loved it. Dad had great taste in food, knew how to eat and ate well! A wonderful day to celebrate a wonderful man. I lost my dad 6 years ago today. Always a bitter sweet day. I love that I texted my sisters in the morning and then when I checked my email at home later they'd both already sent me a sweet message. Yup, Bye-wing, QP and I have one of the best fathers around...yes, he is still around :) and his kids are pretty darn great too! He left a legacy to be admired. Yes, I'm the cute little baby on daddy's shoulders. They love me best :) You can fight over whic one you think QP and Bye-wing are.
