Nine things you do everyday:
We are expecting more snow tonight. Can you believe it? (Okay, Northerners, I know I have no room to gripe ;) ) The Race13.1 10K/Half Marathon is this weekend on the greenway near our house and I just wonder if it will still happen? With a new coat of snow on top of the black ice I hurdled this morning on my 3.25 miler, I cannot see how it would be safe to run on by Saturday (at 7:00 AM) when the temperature is supposed to be in the teens. Luckily I'm used to running in the teens at that time of the morning, so if I didn't have to deal with Black Ice, I'm sure to have a leg up on all those afternoon runners who wait until it warms up in to the 30s!
I haven't registered yet because I'm waiting to see what happens. Plus, I kind of hate paying 50$ to run. Sigh. I'm going to have to get over race registration fees if I want to accomplish my running goals this year, though. I have races to run! I want to register for the color run, but can't find a team to rally around me. I'll have to find one to barge in to, I guess. At least I'm not shy about that!
It was 19 degrees this morning when I left the house. I'm getting spoiled to running without feeling overheated. As much as I miss the days of running trails surrounded by sweet-smelling honeysuckle, I am loving the winter running scene. Except for the ice. Man. The ICE.

Nine things you do everyday:
- Get up early for at least an hour of alone time before the house starts to stir. I'll say this is a 95% of the time thing, though. Sometimes I let myself sleep - on the rare occasion. Introversion with twins and an extroverted wife means I have to carve out time for self care where I can.
- Read a book. Read something every day!
- Play. Usually some sort of make-believe with the kids or indulging their make-believe play.
- Check the weather. Either on my phone or watching the morning news in my morning quiet time.
- List three things I want to accomplish during the day, but don't beat myself up over it if I get derailed.
- Think of three things I am grateful for when I turn off the light before closing my eyes at night.
- Drink 64+ ounces of water.
- Kiss my wife, kiss/hug my kids.
- Check my page-a-day calendar. This year it is 1000 Places to Go Before You Die. Awesome pictures, geography, and history lessons daily!
