Saturday- 6 am ran 14 with Lauren and Gretchen up to the waterfall (lower and upper Hulls). This was a painful but great run. I am super tight and not in a good way.
Then I chaffured kids around a bit and pitched in a bit helping my friends who had a huge felled tree. I stayed as long as I could and then took Ellie and her friend to the Patagonia Wild and Scenic Film Festival, to support the Land Trust of the Treasure Valley, where I am on the board (www.lttv.org). Great organization working to preserve open space close to home!
Then I went home to change the sap off my shirt and went back to the members reception. Even got free parking because the parking guy thought I was funny (I am- really, really funny!)Fully sapped myself but the Stella Artois helped me get into the groove. Visited with all of our great members and finally felt like I was helping out (Ellie and friend were distracting me at the matinee). Went home feeling pretty good and wondering if I would get my tushy out of bed for...
Sunday- met the girls (Angela, Wendy and Tiffany) at 7 at Java for an 8 miler. Forgot to eat dinner the night before (there is a sandwich in every Stella..) so wasn't sure how I would feel. BUT! Like always, once I start running, I feel great (usually) and the morning was gorgeous. I do have some advice here that has helped push me past many many hangovers: I never regret running but I do regret NOT running.
Anyway... Great run- felt like, ok, I may be ready for Robie. Did cram a bit, not having a number for a while and all but feeling good about my base.
Took a few calls about my Willow Wood Way listing- I can't believe the house hasn't sold. It is in such a great neightborhood and is so pretty and the yard is large and private... the market sometimes doesn't understand what is a good thing. So, let me tell you all (my, like one reader- Tamara- thank you!) it is a great home at a great price!
Today was good and eventfull, got a lot of work done and may have shored up a speaker for the Realtor Commitee of the Parade of Homes, which I have been working on. Even had a check in my box.
Tomorrow I have a six miler and was going to try to ski but reality is I have some phone calls to make and a few other things to deal with, so maybe should wait until Thursday... but it's supposed to be so nice... anyway, we'll see. Boot camp in the morning might change my ambitions on both fronts.
See ya~
