Tuesday's goals

It should be no surprise that my week is packed.  It's the week of Thanksgiving and the whole training thing.  Which is being thrown for a loop because of a snow storm and slippery roads.  So today I must get a couple of things accomplished. 

  1. Make one, hopefully two, batches of dinner rolls for dinner on Wednesday and the turkey day festivities on Thursday.
  2. Run 10 miles on the treadmill.  I'm thinking I may break this up into two 5-milers.  I don't really have the chunk of time to do it all at once and hopefully breaking it up will help me with the dreadmill aspect. 
  3. Appointment with the chiropractor this afternoon. 
  4. Start hydrating the heck out of myself because I've been slacking.  And I'm going to run a cumulative of 36 miles this week.  (I also realized after completing what I thought was 10 out of 14 miles on Saturday that really I was supposed to have done 16.)
I'm not even going to think about what Wednesday or Thursday or even Friday has in store.  It will mostly be fun, but sometimes fun can be exhausting.

    Embrace the insane time of year, right!? I have broken up treadmill workouts as well. Or? Try an audio book, sometmes it helps to listen to something other than music!

You Capture - DOF

I loved this challenge.  I've been striving to find "the" depth of field picture that just speaks to me.  Luckily I had lots of opportunity this past weekend to find the pictures I wanted to.  On Saturday I boarded a bus to California's Amador County wine country and visited 4 different wineries with a friend. These were so bright and beautiful and simple. The colors!! Perfection! I took about 20 pictures of this door trying to get this perspective.  I love this one.  This was another one that was may favorite of about 20.   I think it's the burst of orange.   I can't wait to see all the beautiful pictures everyone else is going to post over at Beth's.

You Capture - Best Shot

I suppose after two weeks of getting assignments and pictures that I *really* liked, it was time for me to struggle.  I wasn't taking any pictures that just spoke  to me.  But then again, it took me a long time to start taking pictures that I really liked. But I do have a couple that I think were my best for the week.  Hey, I've got an idea! Let me share them with you! This was taken on a hike the two older girls and I took last week.   And then we had our first harvest. One lone strawberry.  There are many more growing.  We are trying to keep the birds from nibbling on them before we get a chance to pick them.  Check out what other's thought was their best shot over at Beth's.

You Capture - Faces

Beth? Are you out there?  Because I loved this challenge.so.much.   I think I captured a lot of love here too.  Oh, how I love her sweet face! And check out the eyelashes!! I thought only boys had eyelashes like that! (Do you like the bedhead too?) He is one of my most favorite people!  This is my honey, my rock, my money-maker, the love of my life! (Yes, sappy. But after more than 15 years together I still like him!) This is the other "man" in my life.  This is Bear.   He is sweet and stubborn and very jealous when it comes to sharing me with T.   This is "my" girl (the middle child).  She is the only one who looks enough like me for it to be obvious that she's my kid. She is so sweet and full of generosity and love.  Did you see the letter she wrote me the other day? No?  Go here and see.   And last, but certainly not least.  Me.  A sweaty mess after running 5+ miles wearing my awesome Team In Training training T-shirt.  This is the face a happy runner.   (F
