Between the few trips we had, and getting really sick, I hadn't been able to run outside at all - until today. This morning was my first outdoor run in probably about 6 weeks. I knew it would be slow and painful, but it was not as bad as I thought it would be. The training schedule called for 7 miles, but the route was slightly inaccurate and we ended up with 7.5. I did walk some of it though, especially some of the biggest hills. But that was Ok. I was just happy to be back out there.

Tonight my sister and I went out for dinner with a couple of friends. When I picked her up we realized that we got chosen similar outfits, in the exact same color scheme, so we had to take a picture. Then, when we got to the restaurant, the server came over and looked at me, then at Gabi, then at me again, and finally asked "Are you related?", followed by "Are you twins?". We told him we weren't, but somehow he still looked confused.

At Kroger they are starting to sell Spring flowers, even though the weather outside is not quite yet spring like. It really made me long for spring as I know there will be light at the end of the cold, gray, winter tunnel.

It feels like this year we've had a lot of school closings due to weather, and today was another one of those days. I was able to stay home with the girls but still had to work, so they had to entertain themselves all day. Well, Bella did, while poor Sofia spent most of the day doing homework. So at 4:00 pm we went to Sky Zone for them to do something fun after being stuck in the house all day.

This Facebook memory came up on my feed in the last few days. My sweet girls.

This year Lionel and Bella went to Vail with Grandpa, and on the very last day they skied together - no ski school. It appears it was a short day because Bella got very cold, but they got some good runs in. Lionel sent me this picture of Bella skiing down a black diamond I have also done before.

The last couple of weeks have been a complete blur as we have been in survival mode. Sofia got sick when we came back from Florida, I then got the flu, and we have been recovering ever since. Yesterday was the very first time I was able to run in a while. Hopefully we will be completely back to normal this coming week.
