Run that ye may Obtain

Got a deep tissue massage last night and, woah.  I felt it this morning.  My back was so sore and achey ’cause she elbowed it SO hard.  She also went more cautiosly into my gluts, hammys, and IT band especially focusing on my right leg where the trouble is.  I didn’t work out today because I just wanted to give my body another day to recover from the massage, the injury, and the illness that has been plaguing me for 5 days now (pink eye, body ache, congestion, headache, ect).   I’m ready for my body to start winning these battles anytime now.

Despite feeling pretty beat, I did get a lot done around the house today.  Swept and mopped the entire garage (it was extremely gross from all the mud our cars had tracked in over the past few months).  Washed and folded 6 loads of laundry.  Cleaned the bathrooms.  Vacuumed the house.  Plus the usual feeding of kids 3 times, cleaning the kitchen after every meal, and a 2 hour grocery shopping adventure.

Sunday Rest Day.  Woke up at 7 a.m. with the kids, got them breakfast, prepared my Sunday School lesson and went to Church.  My new calling is to teach the 9 year olds from the Old Testament this year.  My class is very pleasant and fun!

My 18-month-old just came over and handed me a box of Wheat Thins and then did a little dance. I guess she wants some.

Stayed up way too late last night.  Felt tired from running at midnight.  Didn’t feel at all like running.  So I didn’t.  Took the kids to Classic Fun Center to play in the bounce house, jungle gym, and bomb zone for a couple of hours with our good friends and their daughter.  Noticed a big white van with a fastrunningblog.com sticker on the back while driving and knew it had to be Sasha.  Pulled up beside them to say hi and Sarah mouthed, “Are you from the blog?”  I bet they get that a lot.  We gave her thumbs up and waved but Sasha didn’t seem to get a good look at us.  Good thing…we didn’t want to cause an accident or anything.  So Aaron posted a comment on his blog to let him know it was us.  He figured it out anyway because of our Colorado plates.  What are the odds of both of us traveling North on I-15 at about 10600 South at 11 a.m. on New Year’s Day?  Random.
