Due to many uncontrollable factors, my beautiful WARM mid-day run was RUINED and I had to run on the TM during the encore showing of Julie & Julia tonight.  I stretched, rolled and did Michelle's ab's, showered and am now going to bed.

I don't think there is enough lotion in the world to help my poor dry skin :(:::::::::

I was going to run outside but as I waited for the temperatures to rise into the balmy mid 20's, the snow came and covered the roads :(  I did the treadmill while we watched the Village.  It's a little scary to run in the dark during a thriller :D

What a GLORIOUS run!  I warmed up on the treadmill walking, then stretched and then headed out.  It was SO nice out.  I was really naughty and ran 4 miles.  My knee was fine until the end o mile 3.  It got really mad at me, so I stopped and stretched my hips really well.  The knee behaved for the next half mile with a little squawking at 3.5 miles.  I stretched again and ran home and stretched some more.

Happy New Year!!!

*** Adventures in sledding with Michelle & Luz

Some say that sledding is fun.  Some say that sledding is dangerous and only for the fools of the world.  I say that I am an idiot and sledding is fun... if you don't get hurt!  I took my first run, in probably 20 years, down a road that is closed in the winter due to its steep slope.  The locals of Woodland Hills use it for sledding, I'd say ultimate sledding.  I was on Ben's little blue saucer.  Well, I immediately ended up sledding backwards. About half way down the hill, on one side, there is a HUGE jump.  I hit the jump pretty square on, getting some serious air landing pretty flat with a little accent on my left sits bone... OUCH!  The teenagers just below the jump looked at me in awe, probably wondering if I was going to burst into tears.  I just gave them a thumbs up, they cheered and I went the rest of the way down.  At the bottom, there is a little snow ridge, made for stopping, that I just plowed through onto the road below, STILL BACKWARDS!  Even though I was on the asphalt, I was still moving FAST.  The only thing I could think of to do to stop, was to just flatten myself out.  This eventually stopped me, but my coat is pretty trashed.  I am very glad I had on a fur lined suede coat, or I'd have some good road rash.  Oh the joys of a family outing :)  I am feeling OK right now, except it really hurts to sit, or stand, or bend.  I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings :)  Life is good!  Oh, and I did do more sledding runs.  My husband watched my whole first run and was pretty sure I was finished for the day after the jump, but no not me!  I need to learn how to ski!

1/2 mile warm up, stretch.  3+ miles on the treadmill. Stretch, roll, abs, stretch.  No knee pain at all.  I am going to do at least three miles a day next week, so long as there is no pain.

My bum is still sore today, but not worse than last night.  I can't sit on a hard surface well, but the sofa is okee dokee. 

I must purge my house of all of the holiday crap.  Tomorrow is going to be far better than today, after all it has no mistakes in it yet ;D  I am very pooped out.  I don't do well with company at my house.  I really would like to have another day after tomorrow with nobody coming over.  I love my family and I love to have them over, but I can feel that I really need a day to just lounge around and now worry about anybody.  I've had migraines straight since Wednesday :(
