I ran the Lincoln to Lincoln 8 Mile Run this morning. It was a lot of fun. Out on the trails, beautiful morning. I had a good run. I can honestly say I enjoy every mile. I was never just hoping to be done. For me--regardless of time--that's how you know it was a good race. I was even pleased with my time. It was one of the most enjoyable races I've ever done, if not the most enjoyable.
After I finished, they did a kids' fun run. It was probably about 1/2 a mile. It was a riot. All of the kids started down in their track stances. The UNI women's basketball team was helping out with the race, and I had fun visiting with them.
I came home and worked on cleaning and re-organizing the house now that Bill has moved out to Denver to start his 10-month job at University of Colorado. It's been a while since our house has been so uncluttered. Our office even seems semi-organized which is a miracle. I will have to take some pictures for Bill.
I also cleaned out the Mazda after taking it to the car wash. I vacuumed it, wiped down the inside, washed the windows...This is pretty rare for me and I'm pretty of myself. I have to admit, however, that vacuuming the seats barely touched the dog hair. I just know not to ride in the car wearing black pants. And I also have a lint roller in my office. It's a life saver.
I think the cleaning frenzy was partially because I didn't want to sit down and think about how Bill, Alice, and Gus-Gus were all the way out in Denver. It'll work out fine and I will get used to it, but it's a little sad. It just seems a little quiet around here. I am excited that I get to visit them all next weekend though. I'm also excited for Bill to start his job. It's a great opportunity for him.
