Running in the Rockies

Outside with the double jogging stroller.  Mike came with me so he pushed the stroller for the first while, then he had to turn around to make sure one of us was at home when our daughter got home on the bus.

It was nice to be outside.  I didn't even mind pushing the stroller that much.  :o)  My knee didn't hurt at all - during or after my run.  So, I guess taking a week off was helpful for it.  Our goal this week is getting to bed at 9:30 and exercising all 6 days.  (Mike got extra credit running with me today since he had already gone cycling this morning.)

So, it's the 2nd day of the week and we're already staying up too late.  ugh.  But, hey, we're still running or cycling!  Go us!  (hee,hee)

Two short miles on the treadmill - trying to get to bed closer to 9:30 tonight.  :)  Happy dreams!

P.S.  We woke up to the see first snow of the season this morning.  And Sunday it'll be 70 degrees again.  Colorado.  ;o)

On the treadmill tonight after an Arbonne party.  Have you ever been to one of those?  Very boring.  The stuff is very expensive and the "party" simply describes the skin care products - and not even as effectively as just reading the catalog.  It was still really fun, though, because it was a bunch of ladies from my ward and many of their daughters.  So we laughed and chatted a lot.  The hostess, my friend, made a TON of appetizers!!!  I mean, seriously... there were at least 5-6 different dips for different items (veggies, bread, chips, apples, etc)  

Anyway, I really should've run during the day today, but my 2 year old wouldn't nap and so I eventually turned on Dora and took a nap myself.  hehe.  ;)

ramble, ramble, meaningless ramble....  ;)  

I'm consciously choosing not to run tonight.  My friend and visiting teachee is in the hospital with her 9 year old daughter who was just diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.  So instead of running, I went to the hospital to give her love and encouragement.  But I'm a bit of wimp in hospitals, so I also just cried with her.  Tahlia is SUCH a sweet little girl and is so genuinely kind to my daughter with special needs.  I'm sad for the life altering course this is for her; but I know that she'll be strong and sweet no matter what life brings.  Somc sweet souls are just like that - good to the core.

On the treadmill again.  Too late at night, but at least I squeezed in 5 runs this week.
