French phrase for the day:

Nous nettoyé la cour pour l'hiver ce week-end

Today had all the potential for a particularly challenging day. It turned out quite well considering.

Woke up with a cold that I've had all weekend. Seemed to be getting worse. Now it's almost gone.

Had planned to run 12 miles for my half marathon training. It turns out it's really dark at 5am. At 6:00 I headed out with hiking head lamp on. Where was Chrissy with her camera? :-) Ended up running 6 miles. 12 tomorrow...???

Didn't feel solidly prepared for my class. Still working on lesson plans up to the night before. Always worried about running out of stuff to talk about. Ended up running into the setup time for the next class. One of my students was actually mad that the next teacher barged in while I was talking. Thanks Kevin! Would have been nice if both of the last people who haven't taken the last test showed up to take it today. One for two is better than zero though. Still need to start making up the next test for Friday.

Was worried about my weekly Monday status meeting for one of my projects at work. Then it turned out that meeting was cancelled. Not only did I not have to report that I haven't finished but I gained an hour to better organize my work for that project so my next status report will have PowerPoint (actually Google Presentation, but it doesn't roll off the tongue as well).

And of course I'm still pretty excited about winning a 5k this weekend!! :-)
