nothing much

After a long week in Texas I'm back home trying to find the motivation to write follow up letters, fix trip reports, and the other 9807865234 miscellaneous items I need to do while in the office for a day. I'm hoping to find the motivation in my nonsensical blogging :)

So it may have snowed here in Chicago this week but not before it snowed in Texas. Yes, that's right Texas was colder and had snow before the northern states! Of course after I left the warmer temps are expected to return. Not that the weather really matters since the majority of my work day is spent in research/doctor offices, in front of my laptop, surrounded by binders. Sounds fascinating I know!

This weekend I hope to go for a longish run, or maybe 2 short runs but at least something. I don't mind the cold weather running too much as long as there is not too much precipitation and I can keep my hands warm. The path is empty and I can get lost in my run. Few things can beat that. Hopefully I will make the time in between finishing up the Christmas shopping, finding a tree, decorating, visiting my friend and her new baby girl (!), and cleaning my messy condo. My office looks like the presents and papers had one wild party while I was gone! We will see how much I actually accomplish before I leave again Tuesday :)

Good luck to all the Vegas and CIM runners this weekend! And anyone else racing! Looking forward to all the race reports next week!!!

I heard its still snowing in TX - Austin and Dallas. Now THAT is funny. My hubby and I were just talking about taking a weekend trip somewhere warm and I suggested TX ... so I looked up a few of the cities average Dec temps and they are only in the high mid 50's :) Who knew??

they say we might get snow today--but i doubt it. it will just be rain-flakes.

good luck on the longer runs! that's sort of my plan too (except long = 6) !

knock on wood, but we haven't gotten any here yet either! I know it's coming though, just a matter of time. Hope you had a great weekend, safe travels this week!

It snowed in Texas? What's going on with the world?!?

I think the whole United States is snowing this morning! Keep warm.

Glad you are back home...

I feel like I had a list a mile long this weekend too. Hope you were able to get everything done with some fun & running too!

I heard about the cold/snow in Texas on the radio - CRAZY!
