Snow!

It started snowing yesterday evening and continued through the night.  Hooray!  My kids were thrilled to see all the snow and don't have school today.  As much as I love a good snow day it makes the daily juggle a little harder for my husband and I because our offices are only on a 2 hour delay.  I'm a little surprised that the university didn't close completely, but it will be business as usual after 10.  Thankfully, my husband can watch the kids while I teach from 11-2 and I'll be home in time for him to get to work for some afternoon meetings.  Despite having to juggle schedules and move things around, even we grown ups  love the snow!

 Addendum:  Well, the powers that be at the university came to their senses and cancelled classes so we're all enjoying a snow day (except my husband who has to go in for a meeting).  I  used this morning while my husband was home to start weaning back into longer runs.  I didn't brave the snow, but ran on our treadmill.  Despite being indoors on flat terrain it was probably the most difficult run I've done in years.  I had to slow to a walk several times and toward the end of my 40 minutes my lungs felt as bad as they did the last few miles of the marathon I ran in 2002.   Hard to believe just a few months ago I ran a half marathon!  How quickly it goes...but hopefully it will come back just as quickly.  Now, I need a nap! ;)  Here are a few more snow pictures from this morning.  In addition to the kids having fun, I had to post a picture of our dog, Gromit.   He enjoys the snow as much as the kids!
