Yesterday was a blogging day of silence so I stepped away from all social media for the day to show my support in a very miniscule way for those who’ve been so tragically affected in the Connecticut shooting.

{Edited to Add: Please send donations to United Way of Connecticut instead of Scentsy}

Reader Ranae sent an email about a way to support the children of Sandy Hook Elementary:

“In light of the horrible tragedy in Connecticut , Scentsy consultants are coming together to try to do something neat for the surviving students upon their arrival back at school after the holidays.”

“Our goal is to have a Scentsy Buddy sitting on the desk of every student upon returning to school next month (and hopefully excess for siblings and friends that were also impacted). A fellow Scentsy consultant who teaches at Sandy Hook is collecting the donations since we are unable to send directly to the school during the investigation.”

“Scentsy Buddies are currently BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE, so your donation would be going to two children at Sandy Hook Elementary. If you order, please order from the “Buddies for Sandy Hook Elementary” party on my website. All hostess rewards will be used to donate additional Buddies to the students.”

“My website is http://www.wicklessrusk.scentsy.us if you need any help when ordering please let me know. To get the buy one get one free just type in BOGO into the search bar.”

Ship to:
Heather Bishop
9 Goldmine Rd
New Milford, CT 06776

“Thank you so much for helping support these students and this community during this horrible time. Please continue to pray not only for Newtown, CT, but our nation as a whole.”

YESTERDAY

Yesterday was also my 30th birthday; thanks to all (Margot!) for the birthday wishes.

I rang in my third decade the only way I knew how: shedding some tears over my 20’s, staring at my wrinkles in the mirror and running 30 miles…

on a treadmill. Never said I was smart.

{My view for 4 hours and 5 minutes.}

It was raining and storming and windy and plain nasty outside so I went to a local gym and started running at 6:30am. This is what the run looked like (the treadmill restarted after 65 minutes):

65 mins/8.05 miles - 8:04 pace

65 mins/8.05 miles – 8:04 pace

65 mins/7.9 miles – 8:13 pace

50 mins/6.0 miles – 8:20 pace

I didn’t have any music to listen to, but at least there was TV so I watched the news the whole time, most of which was special coverage from Connecticut.

I came home and iced like an Alaskan would, with frozen halibut fillets and banana Nuun, thanks to Sarah:

I don’t post many pictures of my family on my blog anymore, but I had to include this shot my SIL took of my brother and I from last night:

Happy birthday to my 3 year older twin! (We share birthdays)
