I had one of those “my brain is full” weekends. Beer Geek and I went out on a date so that we could discuss such exciting things as our health plan and the boys’ college accounts. Luckily, the discussion was accompanied by good beer and a piece of carrot cake the size of my head. Then on Saturday, we took the boys to breakfast with Santa. It was at Shoo’s preschool and I was on the committee, so I was a little busy with it. Saturday afternoon we played in the snow. Sunday was church, snow playing, running, craft fair shopping, birthday partying. When we weren’t doing those things, I was spending all my time online shopping for the boys. When I woke up this morning, I realized I hadn’t touched my blog all weekend. Oops.


Glad to hear you had a great weekend!
I do spontaneous speed work too. But, it's my mind that controls the decision not my body. In other words it's, "nah, I don't feel like it." LOL. That's great that you were able to do a sub 8 for an entire mile.
anything that says "wintery mix" or "freezing rain" means I'm gonna fall on my you-know-what. I also opt not to run in that junk 😉
And I thought I was busy! Sounds like a fun weekend. Noce job on the runs and impromptu speed work!
Glad to hear it was a good weekend!I want to take Norah to sit on Santa's lap and get a pic, but Jerry thinks it's cruel.Also, what investment/savings funds do you use for your boys' college funds? I'm investigating different money management options for starting an account for Norah, but financial stuff confuses me. Do you have money market accounts for them? Or something more complex?
Here's to productive weekends and looking forward to races in 2010!!
Glad you had a great weekend. I agree about now running in the low 30s if it's rainy, no thank you! It kinda looks like Santa has a death grip on the boys in that first pic:)
running in the rain can be fun, but a cold rain, i woulda done the same thing!
Nicely done, speedy!!We were down in Bethesda for the weekend & had to drive 495 in that mess – UGH! Those drivers are bonafide NUTS.Highlight of the trip was dinner at the restaurant my brother manages – Rosemary's Thyme in Clifton VA. YUM.
You will absolutely reach 100 miles for December!!! I am right there with you!!!!Michelle/http://runningdowndreams.wordpress.com/
I'm with you on running in freezing cold rain – makes me grumpy!Your boys are adorable!
I've been too busy to blog, too! Look at you with all your xmas shopping done:>
I wouldn't run in 33 degree rain either – yuck!
Sounds like a busy, fun weekend! Great job on your speedy run, sub 8 is an awesome pace!
What a weekend! Way to get that running done – please teach me your ways because I bailed on every planned run this weekend 😉
What a great weekend of life.
Sounds like a great weekend, good job with the HBBC!
