The treadmill is my friend. The treadmill is my friend. Okay, whatever! Even though my house is 100 degrees, it just seemed cooler then outside. And all the boys were taking care of the stock show animals so I was stuck at the house with DD. She was so tired and after the last running fiasco, we were not going to attempt it again so soon. I got her in the shower and jumped on the treadmill. My poor treadmill has been neglected this summer and it didn't have it's usual glow. What? The pretty display lights had gone out. I only had the ugly gray background to look at with the daunting black numbers. I thought to myself I could watch a movie while I ran only to find out my speakers on the treamill had also gone out. Luckily the Pandora on my phone plays loud enough to be heard over the treadmill, the two fans, and the dogs barking outside.

The pizza I wrote about earlier was not settling well in my stomach. That's what I get for eating too much. The dough of the pizza was really weighing me down. I got my 3 miles in. My knee was a little stiff in the beginning but the cushion of the treadmill and newer shoes helped a little with that.

Enough jibberish...on a personal note, we are going through some changes at our house. Nothing bad, all positive but any change is hard. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we make decisions for our family and our future.
