I wish I could bottle days like today. The sun was beautiful to watch rise this morning and it is a nice clear sunny day. I felt good the whole time running. I ran 5 miles with Jody the first half mostly up hill and then down hill coming back. Then I added on a mile and a 1half which I dont usually have any desire to even think about doing.

The best part of the run was finding a huge wheel weight for Mike. He will be so impressed.

Anyway what a great start to the week. Now if only my cabinets would come in. That would be wonderful.

Have  a great day!

Another great morning to watch the sun come up. Me and Jody went up hill for a mile and a half that was so hard for me, then it was fairly level ground and I felt really good. I found a bunch more wheel weights today and put them in my back pocket so my sweats were constantly trying to fall down. Would not have been a pleasant sight. Anyway for those of you who dont know wheel weights are the weights they put on your tires to balance them but the fall off sometimes and they are made of lead. My husband reloads and melts them down to make lead bullets. So I enjoy to watch for them as I run for something to do.

After we ran I jumped in the shower and walked with my kids to school and went with my son on a field trip to Smith's grocery store to take a tour of the store. It was fun for the kids mainly because they got treats throughout the store.

Have a great day!!

Today was dreary outside and not near as nice as watching the sun come up on a nice clear day. We did an easy 3 miles and then some weight training. Now I am getting ready to go to La Caille for an AVON recognition lunch.

Have a great day!

Me and Jody kept it short because she needed to be in to work early so we went a simple 3 miles and I was grateful it was east to west because it was windy out. We are hanging our upper cabinets today. The floor got sanded yesterday and will get finished tomorrow. Then we can put in our lower cabinets on Monday. YEAH there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Have a great windy day!!

WE ran up through west ridge golf course today. The getting there is all up hill and mentally hard to survive, but we persevered and got to the turn around and stopped to enjoy the view. It is so beautiful to be able to look all across the valley and even up into the mountains. Then we headed  down hill and upped the pace a little. My dog hurt his leg and I was pulling him part of the time. Usually he has to pull me the entire run. He is recovering well after many dog treats!! All together it was a great run. But I am ready for summer. No more cold mornings and rainy cloudy afternoons.

Have a great weekend!!
