Wow, I didn't realize I had so many miles on my shoes until I added the shoe feature on my blog and added up the miles.  Cool feature!  Thanks, Sasha!!!!  ;o)

It was a beautiful, sunny day today so I took the little ones in the double jogging stroller and was dragged down the hills and almost died on the uphills.  They were very cute.  They "talked" to each other, played with their shoes (on and off) and noticed every bicyclist.  But I went a little late in my afternoon and I was running late to do everything else - like friends coming over for dinner as I was just starting.  And I never did get around to make-up or contacts after my shower.  Oh well.  ;o)

So I was downstairs recording movies off our DVR and watching the clock get later and later - knowing that I didn't run yesterday.  So, on a whim, I turned the treadmill on and began running barefoot!  without even changing into running clothes.  I only lasted a mile until my feet started feeling like they were developing a blister.  Very weird sensation, I'll you give you that, Lybi.  Plus it made my feet filthy black!  (hee,hee)  But at least it wasn't a goose egg again.  ha!

I had to take advantage of this GORgeous warm weather we're having!  It's like 15-20 degrees warmer than average.  Woohoo!  So, once the girls finally took their nap, I went for a nice 4 mile loop.  It's amazing how quickly my body got used to going shorter distances.  At mile 2.5, I had to keep fighting the urge to start walking.  wimp.   But it was a great run - with long, sustained uphills (and gratefully downhills) with an average speed of 10:04.  

 

Happy Halloween, FRB!

On the treadmill late at night.  I spent the morning packing and cleaning my friends house.  She's the one whose daughter was just diagnosed with diabetes; and her parents are going overseas to serve a mission (left today) and so they are moving into their house.  Awful timing, huh!  So, a wonderful, organized, phenomenal woman mobilized a ward ARMY of to pack, clean, load, unload, clean, unpack, etc. for this sweet sister who is going through too much in such a short time.  It was amazing to be part of such an army for good - an army of service.  It was like experiencing a New Era story firsthand!  Of course, it was exhausting as well.  But I look back on it as a really wonderful opportunity.  It's not very often that I get to witness the amazing good that sweet people who are willing to serve with love can do.
