Despite the rest week, I did get a bit of physical activity. It is interesting how the freedom of running sometimes makes my mind wander: Why would anyone ever own a cat? How do they get the raspberry filling inside a Hostess raspberry-filled donut? Holy Moses. I almost sprained my ankle. Hair on toes is pretty gross. Do I smell bacon? Am I there yet? Why does everything that's "bad" taste so darn good? And on a serious note, how long will it take until gray hairs on my head outnumber black hairs?
Wednesday, January 6th 2010: 7.5 miles in 1 hour & 20 minutes. I went back to the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve and ran the same route as last week. (I took the kids back a few days later and got this photo.)

Saturday, January 9th 2010: 30 minutes on exercise bike + hiking around Confluence Park. I took Jackson and my good camera with me this time. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip.

It is just so pretty there. We need to make a trip there!! I am familiar with the pain on the outside of the knees. They don't necessarily hurt while in movement-they hurt to the touch. Weird.
