Today’s Run:  5.00 miles

Today was National Running Day.  Did you participate???  We ran 5 miles.  Planned on just doing 4 but over shot it a little bit.  Good for what ails you, right!?!

Tomorrow, 5:30 am our flight leaves DIA (Denver Int’l Airport) homeward bound.  We have an hour layover in Dallas and should arrive (if all goes according to plan) at Jackson Int’l Airport (Jackson, Mississippi) at 11:30 am.  Nothing to it.

Our daughter is driving us to DIA.  She lives about an hour from the airport so we are planning of leaving around 2:00 am to get there and park and get our tickets from the Kiosk~go through security, etc. so we can sit and wait…

We are going to “Trivia Night” tonight, so we will not be going to bed (I have ever been to trivia night but our daughter really wants us to go, so, we go).  We are pulling an all nighter. I guess we will sleep on the plane.

Our son is picking us up in Jackson.  My BIL is driving w/our son so there will be two drivers for the trip to and from Jackson (2 1/2 hrs of drive time).  I guess we can sleep in the car, too!

This has been an awesome visit.  Our daughter just got promoted to General Manager of her restaurant.  That is HUGE!  We are very proud of her.  She is only 25 and that is a big deal!  She loves the car we brought her and it is a significant improvement over what she has been driving.  We are a little more comfortable with her on the road now.  Her 1983 Ford Ranger has multiple ailments and is about ready to, quite literally, fall apart.

So, we will probably cry at the airport (I have waterproof mascara so that is okay  :).  She is doing awesome and has turned into an incredible woman.
