So typical Jill. I think back to the days when someone first commented on my blog and it was YOU. I'm glad you came back and found me. Off to make a REAL comment on your latest post and stop babbling...Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-3783894969490616992013-02-15T15:46:10.532-06:002013-02-15T15:46:10.532-06:00Wow, Jenn.

I've only got one who is busy but definitely not 140-swim meets kind of busy.<br /><br />So impressed with your discipline and drive. I've been playing my violin as I run on the Alter G this week. Trying to comeback from post-marathon total body destruction. It's been rough! <br /><br />Anyway, great to read a post from you!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928994787907817674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-30903677241449664302013-02-14T23:52:11.397-06:002013-02-14T23:52:11.397-06:00Still reading! great to read a post from you!!

Love that you call it a robbers mask... I do too:) It has been such a long winter in Utah as well; but, not that cold, -60 YIKES!

I love reading your posts about you...Still reading! I love reading your posts about your kids, sisters, sisters kids, and running! Its great to hear running and everything else is going well! <br /><br />There was a really cold snap here like 10 years ago where it was -20 (and worse with the windchill). My eyelashes froze too. It was the only time I've ever thought that it just wasn't worth the run, so no violin here.<br /><br />So the with the TM...it's possible you're TM is harder, but most people find the equivalent pace on the TM to feel harder (than the road). The reasoning goes something like b/c of the belt size people run with a shorter stride (so more steps per mile). Also they found when people run on the mill their feet don't linger as long on the belt (so more time in the air). It was hypothesized the reason is that with a moving surface we're more uncomfortable being on it. If that makes any sense. I have the same feeling. The pace outside feels easier...Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06399320835082431959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-78856642755576383612013-02-14T07:15:53.114-06:002013-02-14T07:15:53.114-06:00I always get such a big smile on my face when I re...I always get such a big smile on my face when I read the description of your life; it really takes me there, and I like it. I often think of you and where you might be during your day, or what games your kiddos might be playing...You are busy, for sure, but you are so good at living your life in line with what is important to you, being patient about things that do not necessarily fit in (like running many miles), adjusting to what you can do, problem solving and adapting. There is a sense of accomplishment that comes with juggling many things in an efficient manner, and I sense that in this post. I said it before, and will say it again, this job is so good for you:) I often read through my old posts as well and smile (or cringe) of the phases of life. Surely running has changed a ton for me, as I think it has for you, too. And yes, we both found great people through our blogs. No violin for me either. I run in all kinds of weather, but my weather is nothing like yours and I only get frostbites when I put ice straight onto my legs, not from running outside:) I am so excited to see you add speed and tempos to your training; you will see a huge improvement! Congrats to all your sisters for the babes and good luck to the kidos. I would not be surprised if you come up with a Jenn clone so that you can be in 2 places at once and watch both Ryan and Reese:)Ana-Maria RunTriLivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06277465990759801560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-27587838213758943302013-02-14T02:53:15.648-06:002013-02-14T02:53:15.648-06:00My violin isn't playing because I think you ar...My violin isn't playing because I think you are one tough cookie- even if you don't go out in 60 below anymore!<br /><br />So good to read your post tonight! 140 games and someone/someones are doing confirmation? It was once a week for 2 years for me and my sister, I think. You are doing a wonderful job giving your kids all these opportunities, even with working like mad.<br /><br />Must be wonderful to come from such a large family. My husband's is that way- not quite as big in his generation, but the one before. He has lots of cousins :) I can tell you just adore being an aunt 2 more times.<br /><br />The pace on the garmin is very speedy Jenn! I would be beaming! Getting excited to see what your newer tougher workouts will be. ??Rainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118022681297462844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-82914325590966537832013-02-13T22:28:28.012-06:002013-02-13T22:28:28.012-06:00Gosh, so much in here.

And holy heat wave Roseau! Sheesh...28 and sunny. ha! So glad that you are feeling good about this. I always loved the feeling of running on the road after being on the treadmill for so long...I usually felt stronger on the road after being on that mill. I like the TM to road transfer. <br /><br />You are working so many hours..yes. Such a full schedule. So I'm so glad for this good perspective you have on life that makes all that you feel so efficient and energized for getting it all done. LIKE a CHAMP! <br /><br />So much to say...thinking about your growing family, your kids and playoffs ...good luck! and so much. <br /><br />Glad to read a Jenn postAmanda@runninghoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389034066639666578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-59758432539843547402013-02-13T21:49:27.511-06:002013-02-13T21:49:27.511-06:00Ah, I had a gut instinct that you blogged tonight....Ah, I had a gut instinct that you blogged tonight. didn't even see it on my blog roll.
