7 miles in the morning.

I am glad I brought my winter gear down to St. George.  It was very windy and cold.  About 5 miles into the run the sun came out and I warmed up real quick.  I had to take the hat and gloves off.  I can't believe their is a little bit of snow on the mountains down here!  Good run considering the heavy wind slowed me down a bit.

The reason why I came down to St. George is because their is an opening for a SPED teacher/head track coach/head cross country coach at the new Desert Hills High School that is opening up next year.  I came down and talked with the principal and everything went really well.  He said that he couldn't hire me right now because of the time frame but he talked with some people that know me and told me that it is not 100% but about a 95% chance I will have the teaching position/coaching positions.  Katey and I have talked about moving down for a while now and it looks like prayers have been answered.  They are going to check my references and told me to call back in about a month or so for the final decision.  I would love it down here.

I went out to lunch with my mom and sister and I started to not feel so well.  My body was aching and I got cold.  I came home, took some Tylenol and slept for a couple hours.  I think I might be getting the flu a little bit.  I felt better after I slept for a while.  I was planning 10 or 11 miles this afternoon but my body told me that it would not be good.  I am running with Clyde and Dave tomorrow so I am glad that I took the rest.

I've got to take the girls Christmas shopping or my wife will kill me!

Logan... you guys missed a whopper of a storm Lightning and snow. That doesn't happen very often. A Christmas Story is a classic. HohoHo as the foot comes down on Ralphys face (on the slide)! Have a Merry Christmas!

Nice run last night and congrats on the anniversary. Hope you guys have a good Christmas, were taking off to Colorado tomorrow so I won't be around for the club run.

I'll give you a call tonight with my address and directions.

Sounds good Clyde.

Good luck with the new job position, Logan!! I hope you're not getting the flu - that's always a bummer to be sick for Christmas.

From Jon on Sat, Dec 22, 2007 at 12:35:05

Logan- hopefully this job works out for you, though it would be a huge hit in the upcoming Logan vs. St. George cross country duel to lose you to them.
