AM-Did the old 2x2.5 mile at AT pace/ 5:30-5:45/mile on the treadmill. Easy 3 miles at 7/min pace and 2 at 6:20/mile to get into a groove. 2 miles easy at 6:40-7/min pace then the tempo.12 miles total today. Nice workout though.

Had to stay home and use the gym treadmill today because the school district has yet two more holidays this week! Sheesh... Man these kids get a lot of holidays, more than I did as a kid! However we don't have any body to watch the boys. The plus side is that the boys and I get to go play today:)

PM-Easy-Medium aerobic run for 8 miles. Took off the watch tonight and just ran how I felt. I feel pretty good today after a nap. Amazing what a few zzs can do.. I think if I break up the rest of the week into alternating days of easy double 6 mile runs and then a longer run on Saturday that should work out pretty well hopefully.

B-Oatmeal/ whole grain toast. L-Leftover Roast beef and stuffing/carrots. D-Blueberry pancakes and eggs with whipped cream/syrup. Need more veg in the diet. Work on that..

Friday isn't a holiday. It's a teacher workday for the end of quarter so we can average the grades for our 300 or so students and field dozens of angry emails from parents upset that their kids aren't getting A's.

That takes time you know!

Sorry Rob, I understand.. It wasn't an attack on you or the school faculty really. I'm just frustrated I guess because we can't afford full daycare quite yet and with Kim working rotating graves/days and my schedule also, it is really tough to coordinate things at times. And yes I know that the purpose of school is NOT meant to be daycare.

It makes me wonder how my Mom and Dad did it. And they had 4 kids!

I didn't think you were attacking me.

I just wanted to give you a heads up in case you really thought Friday was a holiday and you were planning a celebration or something. :)

I celebrate every Friday!!

Did you do 20 or 12? I'm hoping to have you kicking my butt a few times this summer.

I have been thinking the same thing about all the days off. What do all those teachers do with the time off?

Very solid day! I'm thinking Thursday or Friday would work best for me. I'm usually off work by 1 on Friday but could get off Thursday afternoon. Let me know if you're available.
