Quick summary as I am tired:

Ran the Rex Lee Run this morning, had to scrape ice off my car before driving over to campus, not pleased. The air was freezing and very thin which made my lungs burn. My legs weren't even really tired when I finished, but I could hardly get enough air to stand up. The times posted afterwards said I ran a 25:46, not great, but I was expecting sometime around 27 due to lack of training this semester.

After the run I scurried home to clean up and then get back over to campus to give my presentation at the Spring Research Conference. I feel like my presentation went really well. The audience was engaged and responsive, so hopefully the judges were as well. I should get the comments sheets back from them sometime next week.

Then I went home, ate a bunch of food, watched X-Files, and napped. After which I met Josh at Smith's and we bought food to cook for the ward dinner. The idea was that the ward would meet for appetizers at the chapel at 6:30 and then split up to the houses of the people that had volunteered to host (as Josh and I had done). So we worked like crazy getting the house cleaned up and dinner made, and had everything just about set for 7:00. The entree was still cooking, but it would be done by 7:30 and we could serve salad first and mingle. Around 7:15 we started to wonder where people were. And at 7:40 we called the people in charge to find out that because we hadn't shown up for appetizers (we were at home COOKING! duh!) they assumed we had flaked out and sent our people somewhere else. This is after they called about 4 times this week to confirm, each time we made it very clear that we would be cooking. So that was obnoxious, and now we had food for about 10 people, and only 2 to feed. So Josh and I ate an amazing meal, while watching X-Files.

Now, as I'm exhausted, I'm going to sleep.
