Crazy week! Squeezed in this treadmill workout while Annalise was sleeping and watched little Einsteins with Alex. I ran 1 slow mile, then 1 faster (7:30), .25 slow, .5 fast (7:15), .25 slow, .5 fast, then cool down. My kids have had 1/2 days every day this week which seems to really throw off my grove. Also I was in charge of our Cub Scout blue & gold banquet and did lots of cooking, setting up, and cleaning for that.  Anyway- it turned out great, but glad it is over. I'm hoping to somehow get in at least 27 miles this week.

With this crazy week, I haven't run much and I've been feeling really overwhlemed.  Today's run was totally an insanity-prevention run.  I left around 4:20 with 4 of my 6 kids home.  Abby was watching and listening for the baby while I ran outside the first 4 miles.  I started out slow, then pushed it a little for 3 miles.  Came home and ran another slow one on the treadmill.  The kids are fine and Mommy is happier now!  

The back of my calves are a little tight/sore.  Probably from this new style of shoe I've been wearing.  The kinvara has a lower heel to toe drop than the Brooks Launch I've been used to.  I will have to switch off with those old shoes more until I get used to this.

Today I drive down to the trail and ran 3 miles up Dixie Dr to meet up with some old Michigan friends. I ran 10 with them - back down to the trail & around the mayors loop, then back up to drop them back off to their car. By mile 13, I was already pretty tired, so I gagged down a gu and kept going- back to the the trails.  We had a lot of stops on this run. 2 bathroom breaks, stopped as I met them and dropped them off and 1-2 other quick stops.  My average moving pace was about 9:15, but if you count the 20 mins of stopping, much slower. My energy was pretty low, so I am just glad I made it through this one.
