Can you say HOLY CRAP?!?!  I left my house at 3:30 and it was 50 degrees. I felt great and it was a bit windy.  Well, ALL OF A SUDDEN it got really windy and COLD and then the next thing I knew I was being pelted by hail, rain AND snow!  Jeezzz louise!!!  I had to abandon my dreams of 6 miles and save myself!  What a crapper.  I ran like the wind to get home.  The snow/hail/rain was side ways hitting me on the side.  My poor uncovered legs were slaughtered and left cold and welted... ok, not welted but really red and goose bumpy ;)

Happy day :)  I am pretty excited by my speedy splits :D

I am late for work and have to go.  I will write more tonight ;)

***I had Corrine's kids over night and needed to take them back home, so I figured that I'd go see my dad.  So when I got to my parents home my mom needed to run some errands.  I get to spend some time with my dad :)  I made him lunch and baked him a pie ;)  Actually I put a Marie Calendars Very Berry in the oven.  Anyway, I was an hour late for my run with Kim.  We had a beautiful run.  I had to kick a car for nearly hitting us.  I decided that I should not kick cars anymore if I don't want to break my foot or as David puts it, "get shot."  I am going to have to work on my temper :(    I liked my run today.  I was a tad bit late for work because of my run. 

My dad is doing well.  My mom is doing alright but is a bit fearful.  My grandmother died a few weeks after she came home from the hospital.  I think she will be better in a few weeks when she continues to see how well he is getting everyday.

The kids were up last night throwing up so I am doing laundry ALL day! They are so funny. I wouldn't have even known, but the bathroom light came on at 1:20am and found my baby (3) getting a towel to clean up his bed so he could go back to sleep. I thought he could use some help ;) I cleaned him and his bed up and laid him down. He wanted a new pillow, so I grabbed the second one under Mac (5) only to find out that the reason his pillows were stacked was because he had thrown up on his pillow and just put another one on top of the mess and gone back to sleep. I guess my kids are more independent than I thought. Funny little fellows!

I am hoping for a run right when my daughter gets home from school at 2pm.  The only problem is that I have to be in Mapleton by 3:30 for my cousins wedding.  It will be close.  It may be a short run.  I'd hit the treadmill, but my ham has been whiny and I don't want to really make it mad by getting on the DREADmill ;)

Have a great day!  Hey, we are planning on a run at Memory Grove, SLC, the third Saturday in April.  Please let me know what you think.  Leslie says is is BEAUTIFUL!  Pass the word along.

*** just ran 2 baby miles. Hitting the shower ;)

This run was a bit on the hard side.  I can feel how tired I am.  It was really nice to get out and spend some time alone with Mama Mia :)  

My silly dad took and unauthorized field trip to his workshop this morning and landed himself in the ER.  No serious damage and I think the lesson is learned.  I think he is having a really hard time with the "no activity" thing.  He has never had to be waited on or been restricted physically ever and this is gonna be hard for the poor guy.   He's also not a drepressed person at all and this situation is causing a bit of depression and saddness that he is not used to and doesn't know what to do with it, in my opinion.

I am hoping for nothing exciting for the rest of the year ;)  Here's to hoping :)

20 push-ups, 90 situps

(I am going to run the Utah Valley Marathon.                                                        I can't sleep...I am too excited and nervous...3:30 am)

Hola amigos!  We went to go help my parents today.  I cleaned and David fixed broken water pipes :)  Then I decided to run up the canyon and then back down.  Then we went to the temple and then we went to Chuck-O-Rama and now we are going to Walmart.  Talk about a perfect day ;)  hehehehehehehehehe

Happy Pi Day!!!!

This run took FOREVER!!!  Kim and I started after 10 and did not get home until just after 1 ;)  The first half was done in about 11-12 minute paces and the second half was between 12-13.  The adventure took us so long because it is spring and new life everywhere!  First of all at 2.5 we took a potty break at the gas station.  We drank every 2 miles and gu'd at mile 6.  YES, I actually got a whole gu down.  I only gagged once.  I think I will be ok with gu from now on.  I figured I'd better learn how to take the stuff if I am going to run a marathon ;)  The second half is where the wild life adventure began.  We needed another potty stop so we popped into IFA.  Well, unfortunately they had baby chicks.  We gabbed with the chick guy for a while and then spent the next mile talking about how to build a chicken coop.  Next we came across about 2 dozen CUTE little fat young pigs.  Unlike the snobby cows and horses, the pigs came right up to us and chatted with us for a bit.   We decided our neighbors would not like pigs in our yards, but the pigs would be OK in our freezers ;D  A few more miles down the road we could hear this really loud noise.  It was FROGS in a swampy field.  We spent a silly amount of time looking for them to no avail.  They must have been hiding in the reeds.  The water was SICK looking and I was ready to see a dead body at any moment.  I love frogs.  My mom calls me Toady ;)  I was green when I was born.  So then there were some FAT horses (snobs) and some really furry cute cows.  They looked at us but would not come over and say "Hi."  No hawks or birds but lots of other good stuff.  We did see two dead deer.  One was regular and still looked like a deer.  The other looked like jerky... YUCK!!! ;D

I took an ice bath and will do my sit-up's and push-ups this evening.  Off to tackle the laundry.
