I need some new shoes. The shoes that I am using have a lot more miles on them than what I've logged. Maybe I'll get some this week. These were treadmill miles. 

Whoops.  This was supposed to go on Monday.

I accidentally put Monday's workout on Sunday.  I hate it when I do that.  I'm not going to move it.

We got some snow yesterday, like maybe 4 inches.  It was also pretty windy, blowing the stuff around.  Going to work this morning was more harrowing than I would have thought, but I made it and so did the majority of the kids, who proceeded to complain.  A lot.  

But they had a half day, so I didn't have to hear it long.

Our teachers have parent/teacher/student conferences tonight, so I went out for a run at school in the early afternoon, since I will then stay here till 7:30.  I went out in the streets behind the school, which aren't currently in use, as the "subdivision" streets were laid out before the economy went south, and no one has plans to build out there any time soon.  It's about a 2 mile loop of roads with a number of retention ponds.

I made the mistake of running around 2 of the ponds, and halfway through I stepped in an ankle deep puddle, soaking myself.  It was cold for a second, I contemplated heading back, and then pretty soon my feet were warm again, as tends to happen.

It was slower than normal pace because it alternated between slushiness, iciness, and snow-drify-ness.  But I enjoyed myself.

My blog is about small victories right now. This run was a victory because I talked myself into an extra treadmill mile.

Also, I want to make sure you know that Charlotte is just over 9 months, I was able to fit into all my pre pregnancy clothes a bit less than a month ago, and I am still breast feeding. I feel happy about all those things.

I'm "on call" tonight. My mentee is supervising the dance tonight in my stead and is a little worried about whether or not there is going to be trouble. I just got off the phone with her for the 2nd or 3rd time, and every time she calls me I think there's something going on, but nothing is. She's just paranoid.

Anyway, I was in the middle of my run the first time she called, and before I started up again, the treadmill shut off, so I'm not sure exactly where I was in mileage. But I ran a little over 4 miles just to be sure. Wouldn't want to blog anything that I didn't actually run :)
