I don't know the time for this one. The footing is awful! It snowed almost the entire time, which was kind of nice (on the eyes). I ran 9 with Rob and Brad, then the adventure ensued. I only count 2 of the 4+ miles as running miles....
I thought the club was doing a 2.5 mile fun run. I decided to take the boys on that so Casey (hubby) could run with the serious group. Well it was 2.5 out...2.5 back. Will (4) ran 2 miles, I discovered he has a bit of a sprinters stride. He brings his heel to his rear with EVERY stride... I sent Cooper (7) with Dave because he has run 2 miles before so I thought he'd make the "2.5" no problem without hindering daves run (due to the conditions cooper 8:30 pace would've been suitable. Cooper ran 4 miles.. WOW! I carried will on my back and ran or walked much o the way back.... I got help carrying Willem for about 1 mile.... Lets look at the boys physiques....
Willem 40 inches and 40-44 lbs of muscle (depends on clothing and how full his belly is)
Cooper 48.5 inches and 45-49 lbs. of bone...
That evening the four of us went to a Christmas Party with our running friends. I couldn't figure out why I was being anti-social and crabby. I had taken a nap. When I got in the car on the way home I felt it. My shoulders began to ache. By the time I got home my eyes were watering. I HAD BEEN IN PAIN. A lot of pain and was just distracted. |
