Today's reading of Humpty Dumpty
There are two things I want to remember about today.
1. What Si calls herself: "Si-Ra"
2. Her reading of the four page Humpty Dumpty book today:
"Dumpy Dumpy"
"Dumpy Dumpy fall down"
"Dumpy Dumpy horse"

Snow day
I wish I had a camera today.
It snowed about six inches last night and this morning the world was white and the sun shining. I decided it was time Si knew about snow angels. I bundled her up in her inherited light blue snow pants, booties, coat and mittens. She also wore her usual girly pink snow hat.
As soon as we got outside Si started saying "crunch, crunch" as I've taught her to say when we walk on snow. We walked to the middle of the yard and we made snow angels. Not sure she sees any relation between the angel on the tree and her mark in the snow, but we had a great time. I think she smiled the entire time outside. We made some snow balls too, and the farm cat came to say hi. He was especially friendly and playful with Si and her outfit. Si giggled at the cat and fell down a couple of times because of the cat brushing against her.

Winter Sun Run 2011
http://www.moabhalfmarathon.org/wintersun/
Today I (Beth) jogged 10k. It wasn't pretty and I stopped for a few 60 second walk breaks, but I finished.
I went with my sister in law, Crystal, friend Nancy and neighbor and running partner, Anna. But I actually ran with a mother of four who was going my speed. I was realistically hoping for a time of one hour twenty-two minutes.
The results:
Me, 29: 1 hour 15 min
Nancy, 54: 1 hour 6 min (only because she became a little ill, this gal is fit. Crossfit.)
Crystal, 29 forever: 56 min
Anna, 28: 48 min
So glad Anna didn't wait for me! She wasn't far from placing even if the winner in her age group was at 34 or 35 min.
There were 700 participants, awards for winners, a raffle with bunches of chances to win local goodies, lots of refreshments, and I now own a sweet race shirt and bag. The cherry of the day, though, was the feeling I had while crossing the finish line. Loved it.
