Ha ha, I like the new lists. I'm glad to see that I'm not on the lost sheep list even though I haven't posted in a long time. Here is the account of my digression and rehabilitation. First, I started getting busy and distracted by other things and stopped blogging, though I was still exercising. I admit, my exercises were becoming less frequent and then they stopped entirely. Then Thanksgiving came and I ate A LOT of pie and gained three pounds. That is when I started exercising again. And now I am blogging again. Or at least I am going to make a strong attempt to blog regularly. So I really was a lost sheep but I have returned to the fold :)

Mostly I have been using the elliptical at Jackie's. It is fun to be able to go over there, even if it means I don't get anything done at home. Ha Ha. They are gone on vacation now so I will probably go to the rec center some. It depends on whether or not we have anything for me to eat for breakfast. If not then I will have to go raid their cold cereal and use the elliptical :)

I went to the doctor yesterday for my yearly checkup. While I was there I also got a flu shot and the new tetanus booster. It protects against tetanus, diptheria, and whooping cough and you only have to get it once. So no more tetanus booster shots. Anyway, my arm is very sore. Last night was worse though. I couldn't move it at all and picking up the baby was horrible. It's still sore, but much better.

I'm excited for Christmas! Especially since so many people are coming to visit. Now if only everyone could come, then maybe I could finally be in the family picture. Ha ha, just kidding.

What a sad week I've had (as far as running goes). Actually I have been using our walk-fit (non-electric treadmill thing) at home almost every day. But I still don't think I've been getting in enough miles to count. Plus I can't figure out how to hook up the mile calculating computer that goes with it. It's hard to be on it for a lot of time. It wears you out like running never could :)

Anyway, I just commented on Laura's blog about the cold. And the thought occurred to me that I should pose a question for everyone. My high school CC coach / science teacher warned us against running in cold weather (below freezing). She said the cold air could hurt your lungs. I don't have the best lungs anyway so I don't want to make them worse. I guess it is not actually below freezing here most of the time, but does anyone have any thoughts on this? It seems a lot of you run in the cold and I've heard people say it's okay as long as you dress properly.....

She was kind of eccentric about a lot of things. She also said if you don't drink enough water your intestines will stick together and it's really gross. She had a video. She liked to scare people with it....

I ran on the elliptical this morning. It has been a while since I've done that. Our life is pretty uninteresting right now.......
