<p>Good morning!</p>
<p>The usual run and workout for me this morning. I was a little tired though, I stayed up a little later than normal to watch the Patriots game-what a blow out!</p>
<p>Getting my training on track and signing up for the Eastern States 20 today. Looking forward to that race!</p>

<p>Good afternoon!  I just returned from running 4.  Although I'm in Virginia it was in the 20's so it was chilly!!  I don't know how I used to get up early in the AM to run outside when it's so dark and cold.  Now I just take a few cycle classes a week in a warm gym at 6AM and run during the day or on the weekends.  Not having a job helps with that.  </p>

<p>The nasty holiday SIL emails have started- this time she was scolding my children for something I did so I had to reply back.  Evidently she's witholding all future gifts for my children because she didn't receive a formal thank you note for their birthday gifts this fall (sadly the kids wrote them, I just never mailed them).  She doesn't email, call, or respond to any gifts we send so it's all quite funny.  I really could care less about the gift side of it, it's more the way she worded it.  It's obviously my fault because a 5 year old can't really write and mail a thank you note without the help from a parent.  I was good and wrote the reply, slept on it and then sent it.  Her response should be interesting.  I think I just helped WWIII in DH's family begin- that's what happens when you mess with my kids....family.....ugggg!!!!</p>

<p>Good news- I have a solid lead on a job.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed it works out.  One of my former clients, who is a managing partner at the firm is hand delivering my resume to the president of the company so someone might actually read it. </p>

<p>Hey Sudsy!  Are you running on the TM in the early mornings?  Did you get a lot of snow?  We even got a dusting over the weekend. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>SB- I completely understand how hard it's to run- in the AM it must be freezing where you are and then I'm sure your exhausted (and busy) in the evenings.  Maybe you should try to get two runs in on the weekend and x-train during the week?  It's not ideal, but that's what DH does in the winter and it seems to work okay.</p>

<p>Sisu- that's a long 1.5 miles in the cold and dark!  How is the puppy doing?</p>

<p>Hey Ron!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have a trail race I was convinced to run this weekend.  Gaela is running it too- we have a team of 6 or 7 of us.  Luckily only the top 3's times count.  I've never run a trail race before-- any advice??</p>
<p>Wow Suds, that is a smart dog and so cute!  I love your accent!  I too have a very strong accent, but mine is from Western NY so it's a bit ugly.  I'm hoping it's toned down a bit living away from there the past 5 years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sisu- that's crazy! What a "find".  Yikes!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>SB- 3rd or 4th grade- wow!  I guess you learn about the birds and bees pretty quickly that way.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ron- I've applied for several adjunct teaching jobs and the one I mentioned is for a part time consulting job (I'd be working from home since the company is in Rochester NY).  I'm sure eventually something will work out.  Hopefully sooner than later, although I'm enjoying being able to workout during the day and volunteering at school and church but the extra money and challenge would be nice.</p>
