<p> </p>
<p>Have a good day.</p>

<p>good morning. i got my electric bill and this year they are no longer giving a discount for electric heat users and our bill is over $700!!!!!!!!! Last year it would have been around $350. I am going to cry, ugh. Otherwise, throat still hurts like the dickens. Going to try to run 10 miles today. The past two weekends i did not get a long run in (snow, cold, etc) so i need to do something. Then Costco because we never went yesterday!</p>

<p>Meri,</p>
<p>  Good luck on your run.  </p>

Eric,<br>
Robbie Hummel is really stepping it up for the boilers! Nice win yesterday.<br><br>
Meri,<br>
OUCH! On the heating bills and your throat. Maybe a shorter run is in the works?<br><br>
My legs are toast again today. Oy<br>
Bootcamp was all plyos and leg work, then yoga involved more strength poses for legs, and an hour+ of snowshoe slogging....yikes....even though the snow wasn't challenging, it still wiped me out.<br>
Middle age, meh. <img alt="rolleyes.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif"><br><br>
my goal is for a slow, tortured three on the TM. Might have to walk it, however. Yuk.<br>
Later, it'll be more 'shoeing at the property because we have to take advantage of ANY snow on the ground. <img alt="sad.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"> this year's conditions have not been good<br><br>

<p>  Meri- I SO dislike the way  power companies hold us hostage!    It is just so outrageous - and then when there is a power outage, they want us to be all patient and understanding ! Yikes - in no other business could they get away with it! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>  Church this morning - we sang with our kind of "folk" group.. but there was WAY too much singing today and I LIKE  music !  I think we SAID only one prayer the whole hour! </p>
<p>  Hanging out-  DH and DS are watching Strange Brew.. so funny!  Later we are going out to dinner to use up one of our Christmas gift cards.. from LAST year! </p>

<p>This is one of the many falls along the Columbia River Gorge. I will be enjoying the exploration of the area as well as the cultural lifestyle. Definitely NOT the typical Minnesotan life!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meri - the SUCKS with the Utility company! Sorry that hits pretty hard when you're expecting 1/2 the amount.</p>

<p>WTPJ: Relax those legs!</p>

Take care of yourself!<br><br>
Rich...sweet! What a beautiful venue!<br><br>
Speaking of beautiful venues: #1 DS is hanging with his Patrol buddies at buttermilk mountain in Aspen, co. They're watching x-games and getting in some amazing runs. He isn't working the games, just playing at them. <img alt="cool.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif"> (patrol dudes ski free.)<br><br>
I did a walk jog three miles on the TM this morn. Not fun....at all....but needed to get it done.<br>
At noon, sis and I went to the property for another hour of 'shoeing. Snow was 'acceptable' but not very deep. Blue sky, brisk temps. Nice day.<br><br>
Now.I'm.too.fried.and.cannot.get.off.the.couch. <img alt="rolleyes.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif">
