Struggled with depression this morning and couldn't get out of bed, so I rushed home from work as soon as I could to get my mileage in before it was dark. Switched my one pair of sunglasses over to the orange lenses for snow and put on some of my reflective gear. I think I am stuck in tights for a while now (sob). I was glad I had on my compression tights because they are the warmest and kept my thighs pretty warm. I modified one of my 4 mile loops to make it a 6 mile loop and threw in a couple more uphills.

Off to the gym to work legs and abs and back and then shopping to get a few more gifts to mail a second package off to Italy before the mailing deadline hits.

Some days you just have to sleep in. You got in a good run anyway, and in the snow too! Good job.

The gelato was great! It was passion fruit, it was sooooo good, I hid the other one in the freezer and will eat it tomorrow. Shhh! Don't tell Harold.

Gee Leslie - some of us have to work for a living....

I might be able to do a run tomorrow morning. I am going to the gym at 3:30 and hit the treadmills and then come back to work - so might be able to come in later.

If you want to join me, give me a call. I could go as early 5:30am, but that is about as early as I could pry myself out of bed. I am such a lady of liesure you know.
