Keep running and family balanced and be as fit as I can so I can run and play with the family.

Happily married for some time......5 great kids that overachieve in whatever they choose to do.

So, I get home today after work and figure I can get a nice run in before dark. My wife was painting something in the garage and told me that she was glad to see me and to get changed. ???? Duh! I walked into the house and all the furniture in the kitchen and living room was moved to the center and there on a drop cloth ......... 3 gallons of paint in assorted colors. What??? My daughter will be coming home in 16 days from her mission and my wife thinks it's time to redecorate! Finished up at 11:30pm with round 1.

Round 2 started at 1pm after I went into work early. 3:30am early! It is 11:30 and I am just about finished. Just waiting for some paint to dry and put a second coat on. Changing colors is a royal pain! I am running tomorrow morning hopefully! Wanted to run the local 10k with Twinkies, but we will see what happens. Do you think my daughter will even know that we painted? Anyone know the ratio of miles per trips up and down ladders? I need to do a conversion! Happy Turkey Day everyone!

So did the painting replace the turkey trot? Nothing worse than coming home to hours of painting!

Not only the painting, she rented a carpet cleaner and had it stashed in the suburban so I couldn't see it until this morning. I've labored these past couple of days for sure!

Haha! Looks like you still haven't been able to get your run in! The thing about changing colors is that it takes so many coats of paint to cover the paint underneath! Good luck. I hope your home is looking wonderful and smells like a new house! :)
