Good morning!<br>
Did some 800's this morning and now just doing my workout. I haven't done 800's in a long time and I need to get them back into my training routine.<br>
Sounds like everyone is pretty busy for the holiday but it also sounds like everyone is gearing up for some fun.<br>
I hope to do the same!

<p>Good morning!  dh got up in the middle of the night and starting puking and I never fell back to sleep.  Needless to say, I did not get up to cycle and I am exhausted today.  Now I don't know what we will do about Christmas Eve since we have the sickies in the house.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Suds - Sounds like your running is coming right along!</p>

<p>Amber - Good job getting it all done.  I am finally done shopping but have a lot of wrapping to do tonight.  Santa wraps after the kids go to bed on Christmas Eve.  Have fun in the snow.  We got a little bit and the kids said they will shovel when they get home from school.</p>

<p>SB--cute receipes ...funny about not figuring in the trip[. Enjoy your first day of vaca </p>
<p>ANDI--your kids have school today?...and yes, we got a lot of snow, probably 6-8 inches--when they were only predicting 3....just came in from shoveling the deck, unsticking a snowmobile, and now just served my kids lunch.  DH had to go get my mother unstuck with her snowmobile..he is now home and filling one of the kids snowmobiles up with gas that ran out in the trail---never ending around here--lol--I love giving gifts too </p>
<p> </p>
<p>just stuffed the stocking..and need to wrap 3 more gifts since they wont fit....so will do that tonight....</p>

<p>Morning my running friends.  Last night Jennifer and I ran a little but almost teenager problems made running hard so I stopped at 20 minutes.  The night ended better so that is good.  Today is our office holiday party so we should be out of here early.  I will work out a little.  Santa will come tomorrow morning in our house.  The kids will be with their mom tomorrow night then Christmas morning we will go to my parents so we thought an early Santa visit would work best.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paul speed work always a good way to shake things up a bit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Andi so sorry your family is that sick.  My kids are all stuffed up and coughing but nothing like you.  I hope everyone gets better soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Amber one day our family needs to go someplace on Christmas so we can have a white Christmas.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Staci glad you are finally on vacation.  The rain has been terrible and the mud slides and made it worse.  We should have any rain the next couple of days so hopefully thing dry out a bit before it rains again on Christmas.</p>
