I woke up early (and went to bed late!) to meet Jancee for our run.  It had poured and thundered all night long.  But it was dry when we headed out.  It was much darker than we are used to and it was quiet in the neighborhood.  It felt a bit eerie.

We had a great run and a lot of fun together.  We ran up and around the temple.  Jancee is such a great friend.  I really look up to her and am glad for her friendship.  We ran a great 10 miles.

Jancee and Rindi and a beautiful sunrise!

At the very end, I started to feel sick with my stomach/bowel problems.  It was only the last half mile so I hoped I would be okay.  But sure enough, I ran into the house feeling sick.  And then I stayed sick most of the day.  I am so frustrated about it!!  I did find out that it is very common for one's bowels to overreact to all the running.  Tons of people online said that they have to take Imodium before each long run just to make it through.  It's the after effects that are such a pain.

I finally calmed down enough to go on a really fun date with Greg.  We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and then went to the Theaters to see Wonder Woman.  It was SO good!  I loved it,  We had such a fun time together.  Emma and Julia had all of the kids in bed by the time we got home so we got to straight to bed.  It was so nice of the girls.  They are such great helpers.  I love them both!

We are still very worried about Dad and we anxiously await updates.  I feel helpless here, but I hope he and Mom feel our love and concern.
