OK. After teaching at co-op all day.. we came home and did chores :)
My daughter comes to me and says.. "Piggie back" of course joking thinking I couldnt do it.. and I said ok..
I carried her around the house for a while and did a few squats :).. thought was funny so had to take a picture.. this is during squat #3 :)
HA!

Who said growing old meant growing weak???
(why its underlining i have no idea :)







You see that drip of sweat? That is from after my run!
IN 35 degree weather!!!!! WOOOOWHOOO! ME RUNNING IN 36 :) AFTER TEACHING ALLL DAY :) .... WHO HAVE I BECOME!


I had a tank, a long sleeve, a short sleeve, a fleece and a jacket... this is after taking off the fleece its tied around my waist but you cant really see it in the photo.. thats why my jacket looks so funny :)

You are your daughter are just adorable. :) You really layer a lot for the cold! I always seem to overdress and end up sweating my butt off. :)

Great pictures.

Way to get out and embrass the cold! I love running in the winter. It's great to see the world in a different way!!

Keep it up!

Looks great, Ruthie! I still pick up my two youngest kids all the time, it won't be long before they will be able to pick me up (my oldest can already). I am dreading getting out in the cold weather, I haven't run outside since I got back from California, I am too scared!! But since we are signed up for a race at the end of December I am going to have to bite the bullet and just do it. Did you get snow this week? My mom did, up in DFW.
