Ran 4 with Alisa. Pace 8:49

Came home and ran 3 on the treadmill. Pace 7:50

I had a glass of skim milk post workout. We will see how that works.

I hope everyone has a good day. Mine is off to a good start. I saw Kellie Picklers music video "Don't you know your Beautiful" while running on the treadmill. It chased away all of my FAT thoughts.

Britta --

Nicely done this morning!! One thing though ... what in the heck are you doing having "FAT" thoughts!? You have got to be kidding me!!! Are you nuts??? I am seriously shocked!! Seriuosly!!

You are definitely seeing something that no one else is silly girl. You look GREAT!!!

From Cal on Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 11:46:52

Maybe FAT is an acronym for something else?

From britta on Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 12:16:06

FAT is fat no other meaning. So silly I know but what women doesn't think that way?

I came up from running and my husband said "you look really skinny this morning" that comment took off like 20lbs when I look in the mirror. So silly!

Cal, Did you run with the BBK? I guess I should just go check your blog.

Great job, and speedy miles on that treadmill!! Or we still on for Saturday?

From Kelli on Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 18:44:47

Oh, and you are tiny and skinny and beautiful. I totally forgot to tell you this: I was talking to a lady named Lynette today at the gym. I have done Yoga with her forever, but have never asked her name. Anyway, I was talking about running this morning and she asked if I might by chance know you since you run with a group. I told her I did and then we talked about how hard it is to run with you because you look beautiful all of the time---no matter what!! She said she saw you voting and you had told her you had just run and you still looked AMAZING! Sickeningly beautiful you are!!! And thin.

Lynette is my Relief Society President. She is great.

How nice!!! Truly that is so nice. I get it, I will (try) stop complaining.

How has your day been?

Yes I am still planning on Sat.

After Yoga I decided to go to my sister's house and try her CHI. She has told me that they are so much faster than other hair straighteners, so I gave it a try. It took almost an hour to straighten my hair! That is way too high maintenance for me. Then we went to Chik Fil A and got lunch and went to Butterfield Park to eat and play. It was kind of cold, but the kids did not care. We were there until 3:30. Then I picked up the rest of the kids from school, went to get desert for Book Club, and now here I sit!!

How 'bout you??

In case we do not talk again, we will come to your house at about 7:05 (leave our house at 7). Thanks for coming, I did not want to be alone!!
