Tomorrow we are off to Boise for Thanksgiving!  Packing and the up coming plane ride have been on my mind.  I hope I have enough toys and snacks for Will.

So I thought I'd just run 4 today.  After I ran the first quarter, I wanted to turn around and go home.  The wind was fierce!  The wind chill was 24 degrees.  I can't believe that the wind can knock the temperature down twelve degrees.  And it's only November!

I kept running (obviously) and enjoyed it.  (Hence, I ran six instead of four.)  At one point when I was running down hill, the wind was so strong I felt like I was running up hill.  The CRAZY wind!

Will slept most of the run.

Yesterday, I did an ab work out with my sister.  Today we did 56 lunges.  I feel sore already.  Not a good omen for the next couple of days, especially with the three hour car ride and the five hour flight tomorrow.

Oh... and I am pleased to report we did not litter yesterday.  The tooth paste tube was in the bottom basket of the jogging stroller.

you are so funny...good job littering...I'm sure Jade didn't mind you running her into the ground..I never did.

Guess what? I figured out something crazy...I totally run the wrong way. I never knew you were supposed to kick your legs up back behind you when you run fast. Sasha said that it's just natural and if I couldn't do it naturally I probably couldn't do it at all. I tried and it felt different but my form was better...I feel so silly.

Have a wonderful time on your trip.

Great job with the lunges! Does your sister live near you? My sister does, but she will move next year when her husband finishes school. :-( Sisters are the greatest!

Have a safe trip!
