Snowed in… I am NOT a winter kind of gal, especially now that I have kids. It takes forever to get ready to go out and after 2 minutes in the snow they want to come in to use the bathroom. They are in now for good. My house is trashed… wet dog, wet clothes, cold kids. It is still coming down hard, but expected to stop in the next few hours. And then I shovel. No snow blower for me… It’s good exercise, right? Did I say how much I hate to shovel? Unfortunately I have to do this chore. My husband is the world’s worst shoveler. He sees no reason to actually clear the driveway. Just get the build up from the street plows away from the end of the driveway and barrel right through it. If he were in charge we would only wear boots from now until April. We’d never have company, and the mail would not get delivered… I shovel.
I just had to take a break because my 3 year old stuck a raisin up her nose. This was a first for me. Called the pediatrician and the nurse on duty told me to block the non-raisin side of her nose and blow into her mouth CPR style. Wow… raisin out… let’s not try that again.
I got a note from my TNT coach about tomorrow’s practice. No cancellation unless the streets aren’t properly cleared. Wellesley is not supposed to get as much snow as us, so hopefully we’ll still be running. If practice is cancelled tomorrow, I won’t run with the team again until New Years Eve day. I need the motivation. I need to run outside. I really hope we run!
My workouts have been great this week. Two treadmill runs and one outside. I even took a short run with my puppy, which seems like she’ll be a great companion for medium length runs after her birthday in February.
Does anyone have “THE STICK”? Do you use it? Does it work? My running coach swears by it, but then he’s got a strong relationship with the local running shop so I don’t know how much is advertising. I’d love your comments.

The kid of a woman I know inhaled two cinnamon Tictacs when he stuck them in his nose pretending to be Pete the Dragon. They stayed up in his sinuses until they dissolved. That must have HURT!!!
People I know that use The Stick rave about it, but I don't have one. I should.
That sounds untterly painful! My daughter just thought of the whole raisin thing as an inconvenience and the method to get it out as weird fun... I kept telling her - the dr. told me to do this -- don't try this on your sister!!
