The stars aligned!!

Lately I have had trouble finishing up at work in time to get a good run in after work - so I grew up. And I have been running in the mornings like the rest of the grown-up running world...

But on Monday - a Christmas miracle occurred. My work schedule for the day was almost unbearable to look at - 34 units, and evaluation and an 1 1/2 long meeting (on a normal day I have trouble doing 30 units without an evaluation or a meeting within 8 hours). So, somehow... I made it out of work around 4:30.

Now again. Usually I'll leave work between 4:30 and 5:30 and it takes me about 45 minutes to make it home 13 miles through the traffic... On Monday I was home in 17 minutes and I didn't even drive That fast!
I fed the dogs. Played fetch for a few minutes and still had time to spare before heading over to South City.

Over to South City to enjoy a group run up and down the streets where each house is decorated to the 9s. I had so much fun!! I can't wait to go next year!
