Woke up late so I didn't have enough time to put in a long run before Amy had to go to work. I figured that I could get in about 9-10 miles so I decided to put in a good hill workout. Ran up to the mouth of Mueller Park canyon then back home. This was exactly 9 miles. When I got home my two youngest kids were still asleep so I told my son to keep an eye on them while I ran around the block. I ran a figure 8 loop which crossed by my house every mile. I was never more than 1/2 mile away from home and told my son to come out and wait for me if he needed anything. I checked in on them each time I passed the house. Took my in-laws, dog which we are dog sitting, for the first two miles. She is a miniature pincher puppy and is full of energy. I was hoping that this would wipe her out and make her want to sleep the rest of the day. Dropped her off then ran 3 more miles. Miles were slow because of the hills and I could never get in a groove because of all the stopping and starting. Not the greatest run but at least I was able to get the mileage in for the day. Total Time: 1:53:05 (8:05/mile)
