Spending some much needed time with Zachary and early running

Most mornings I clean the house do laundry and wake up completely before I head out for a run.  At night I have to take medicine for PTSD so it takes time for me to be completely alert.  This week I have Zachary at home so I have to head out earlier.  Today sucked I'm not even going to put how many miles, not many but under an eight minute mile pace.  Have to just keep telling yourself that good days come from bad days.

The first day of vacation is always fun, then it wears off, the countdown starts at day two. I often wonder why they need such a LONG vacation, they are just kids.  At least I don't have the constant fighting I used to have with my older two. 

We have a lot planned movies, cookie decorating, puzzles and just being lazy. Here are a few of my favorite Christmas movies.

I like funny movies!!!!

I have just a few small gifts to get and I will be done with Christmas shopping.  I dread going anywhere because of the crowds of rude people.

Are you done with your Christmas shopping?

What is your favorite Christmas movie?

Have you baked anything? 

Mocking jay release triple play, hug a runner day

Today is hug a runner day, so I chose a male and female runner that I would love to hug if given the opportunity.  Steven Prefonte and Kara Goucher.

Two awesome, push the limits runners.  Now if I was going for the runner I personally know, who is motivating even though a few hundred miles away and is just an all around great person I would have to say, Jennifer Chaffin from Nashville.

Today, at 1430 hrs (230pm) I will be watching the entire Hunger Games series with Zachary. I don't try to be a friend to my kids, however how awesome is it to leave school an hour early to hang out all night with your mom!!!!!

Yesterday I had a GREAT run and I am feeling confident that at next weeks Turkey Trot I can beat my PR of 32 minutes for four miles. My goal is under 30!!!
