Running Wogging & the Glass Half Full

So--- Today I'm staying home and thrashing around on my elliptical machine instead of going for a run I'm dictating this blog post to Siri while exercising – Yeah, not the most blog worthy- But hey- There's something extremely tantalizing about being able to exercise in a flimsy tank top and yoga pants in the comfort and warmth of your own home That – and I'm trying to figure out what to make for dinner tonight Groceries have been ridiculous lately, So I've boycotted the grocery store entirely, until humanly impossible to feed my family with what we have in the house.

Saturday, December 7th Brrrrrr-  I had grand plans for a longish run today- Well, longish for what I've been up to lately- I was thinking 7 would be nice Then I slept in And the laundry started screaming for attention And -and -and--- I was back peddling from even stepping out the door  Nope-  Not giving in so easily today Pawed through drawers  Found some running gear Threw it on Annnnnnd we're off Brrrr it's cold  I brush it off and keep on going Brrrrrr it's cold What in the world is the temp anyway??

Tuesday December 3rd This morning my son ry and I got out early again- My phone was totally dead, so no endomondo to track time or distance No pics today either We jogged Walked And chatted I can't tell you how nice it was I know there'll come a day  When we both look back on these  Early mornings with Fond memories It feels like such a beautiful gift

Friday, November 29th So this just happened Signed up for Shiprock marathon Yep I know, I know, it was a hard one for me last year- (read about it here ) But two weeks ago As the fam and I drove past shiprock on our way to Scottsdale  I found myself Wishing for a chance to run it again Then the Black Friday discount link- A marathon for $50? Yes please So I did it Snapped me up a Black Friday marathon deal -------------   Saturday, November 30th The fog was amazing on my morning run We don't get fog much here in NM It felt like another world Gave new meaning to the phrase "Running in a fog" Rather liked it Not so derogatory as I'd perceived it must be Glisten Ice crystals Sparkle No way to capture it To touch it, makes it disappear You just have to believe me It was amazing
