Highlights and Lowlights
 |
| L to R: Craig, me, Andrew H, Andrew W.
Everyone else forgot their red & green |
 |
| Rain turning to snow. Gross. What an interesting winter so far |
 |
| Very happy to have my 14 done! I had given myself the option of just 8 and doing 14 tomorrow. But, it’s always good to just Get ‘Er Done! |
-Early Xmas gifts: I gave Nate his Christmas present early! I bought a Nikon DSLR camera for him our family. I also gave him a pull-up bar, which he has conveniently placed outside our dining room for lots of random pull-up sessions!
 |
 |
| I also checked out a few books on photography from the library so we can learn how to take decent pictures. I’m excited!
Greta and I had fun in the children’s section of the library before we picked up my requested books. |
-Watching Greta grow! She is becoming quite the walker, and I often fear for her safety as she stumbles around, trying to RUN. Yikes.
 |
| Here she is “helping” me cook |
-Finding this star.
 |
|
Craig finds star in ditch during run
Craig picks it up and runs it back
Craig decides to put it in his helmet for his ride back home
Next day I put on my festive red and green for my run
Co-worker comments: that’s nice & festive and all, but did you SEE the man that bikes around town with a star on his hear?
HAHAHA! Guess he was pretty noticeable 🙂
The penguin hat is in the lost and found at Bethel, in case you lost it & have been looking for it |
-So many fun people to train with!
 |
| L to R: Nate, me, Joe, Kim (2:55 debut marathon!)
I requested that everyone wear Christmas colors/themed clothing. Our group looked pretty festive running around town together. Apparently Kim missed the memo. |
 |
| At least I had good company at the track! It was Emma’s first track workout in ~6-7 years. After the workout I found out that she went to state in ’93 on the 4x800m relay with AMY OLSON (on the TNC team). Ha! What a small world! |
-3×1 mile workout: I was supposed to hit 6:00s on these, but hit 6:16, 6:17, 6:34 (into the wind). HOW did I run that 19:05, again? I’m baffled, really, since there haven’t been many (any?) workouts that are indicative of that.
 |
| Bruising of my IT band after my last treatment |
 |
| Last week I did ~20 minutes. Woot, woot.
I haven’t done anything this week. |
 |
| Gotta love Northfield. Random Santa sighting and picture when we out and about |
-Having fun with a couple sewing projects. Which I need to finish tonight… hmm… better get to that…
 |
| Sewing two $1.44 black Friday fleece blankets together for Mesa. She sleeps under a blanket every night and her current blankets look a little… rough (that’s putting it lightly) |
 |
| Cow blanket project in “the pile” waiting to be finished! |
Enough from me! What were your weekly highlights and lowlights?
