How Many Days Till Christmas???

OK, I had to share. I can't believe we are almost in November, so when I came across this site I just knew I had to share it in case anyone wanted to get a jump start on Christmas. I am not sure how I missed this site before.

It has a ton of recipes and fun things for the kids. And even a link to the NORAD Santa Tracker.

Enjoy!!!

Ohh my aching legs!!!


OK, off the craft blogs and on to running. I have done all my training this week except for today because my knees ache. Tomorrow my miles ramp up and I will be running 9 miles for my marathon training. I forgot how it is to train in the fall and winter in Wisconsin. You can never predict the weather.

So, last weekend I ran the Rump Roast Run in Minocqua, WI. I did the 10K this year after really enjoying the 5K race last year. The 10K has much fewer runners, so I knew my slowness would put me at the back of the pack. Well, after the final out and back I counted 7 people behind me. YAHOOO.... SEVEN PEOPLE! That made me so happy. At the 5K point I was at a personal record, so I knew I would do OK for the 10K... which again was a personal record. OK note here... I have not ran that many 10K's, but a PR is a PR!!!!
