going, going, going…

mushroom barley soup

Ran a 10k this am (gorgeous and cool out) and took Gram to her MD for CBC. Brought over my crockpot full of Mushroom Barley and all three of us chowed down. Rearranged Nat and CJ’s room tonight- I was getting worried about Nat being kept awake and awoken too early, so we went to work (Chris , reluctantly) and pulled the bed back in, and moving all the furniture. Really a frazzling job, and we did it at 8pm….not smart. but at least it’s done. Yikes.

I miss my bike- she needs air in her tires.

Columbus Day

Cuddled with the fam last night to watch the Italy special~wow. Sang Sunday both services~ tired. I think from now on, Sundays should be "off days" for training. Sundays are, after all, meant for restImage

pm run: 4.2 miles, fartlek (that word means "speed play" …get your mind out of  the gutter, lol)…..36 min. Short and sweet tonight, fighting the dark. Now it gets dark around 6:30pm.

Today the kids were off for Columbus Day and we cleaned, laundered,  and organized a lot. Well, at least Natalie and I did! Sienna was on the phone all day. I urged her to take a nice walk today- it was unseasonably warm today~ she refused.

Did some yardwork too. Pull up the 10 tomatoe plants, etc.

Finally made the crabmeat and mushroom soup :) Lots of work but worth it!

YUM! Image

Ready for the week. ~I think.~

At least it will be a short one.

a good day :)

awesome

pm 5 miler~ lots of energy 2nite :)

Been really busy, as seen by my utter lack of blogging. Been running as usual , helping Gram and Aunt So, doing some serious clean-up both in my house and Gram’s. Vac’d the whole house, and scrubbed, etc. Hard, physical work really feels good~ I’ve been truly deserving my sleep!  My greatest joy is looking back at the end of the day and feeling………..

1…. like I had a good "people" day- that I was a blessing to my family, friends and others and things go well in my relationships, and

2. That I accomplished a lot of things

and of course…..

3. I ran well :) and put in some good mileage.

Today I had all three

Firstly, the new Beck CD came :) Yaay- great band! Then Sienna’s open house was a lot of fun, and wow did I get a workout….and Chris was able to take apart gram’s old dishwasher and they’ll have a new one tomorrow :) I had a fantastic, energetic run (unlike the last few this week…it must be the SPAGHETTI E CLAM SAUCE!) Plus I got to see the Dunham’s at Nat’s school, untill that is I realized I  was late late late picking up CJ! So the day was very busy, but this day in a good way.

Sienna’s Open House this morning~ I was Sienna for the day, going from class to class and having, yes, 5 minutes to get from practically one end of the school to the other, lol. It was great seeing some of the teachers I grew up with, and some of my "mom" friends.  We really miss Mr. Palmieri though. He’s an amazing and gifted musician. He may not be back untill after the winter concert :(  In the meantime she’s now in yet another band!

ER’s on tonight and Chris and I will fight to stay awake for it, for once!!!
