Ahhhh.  Nice and quiet!  Tim closes on Tuesdays so he won't be home until after 10p.m. and I was able to get Aidyn up to bed "early".  What's a girl to do with free time?  Sit in silence...there's nothing better some nights. 

Today was a good run.  Since Aidyn goes to school at 1 and I don't have to pick her up until 3:30, I was able to run right from work.  Although it was in the 50's today it was windy in spots.  At least the sidewalks are finally clear(er). 

Distance: 3.59 miles
Time: 35:50 minutes
Avg Pace: 9:58 /mile

The bad news though is that I'm now sitting here icing my knee.  It's been bugging me for a week or so off and on.  I'm hoping it's the increase in my miles and getting used to the pavement again. 

Yesterday I went to the gym and lifted.  I know it's awful to say,  but I kind of hope the New Years resolution people start to fall off the wagon soon if they are going to do so.  It's been a little crowded lately.   

I went at 3:30 to pick up Aidyn.  They had their Valentine's Day party today since they only have class Tues, Thurs.  I was happy to see her little bag full of valentines.  The last few days were a little stressful.  Even though Aidyn went to Stepping Stones for a while, she apparently does NOT remember ever having a V-day party.  The concept of buying really cool Scooby-Doo cards (with pencils) and then having to give them all away to other kids was not such a big hit in our house.  She was pretty concerned about giving them away with no guarantee of getting anything as equally awesome in return.  We were lucky to come home with lots of candy, and tattoos and even one of our own Scooby pencils  Everything is right with the world. 

I'm going to take advantage of my quiet household and head to bed myself.  I'm trying this new thing where I actually get up when my alarm goes off in the morning.  A 10 p.m. bed time MIGHT just make that happen. 

Another 2 miles tomorrow!
