So, I'm having a hard time figuring out when to squeeze runs in during the week this week.  I have a little girl with a double ear infection, 2 doctor's appointments, a husband working late, and 3 very young children...  so, my miles may not look like those of someone that is running in a marathon in less than 3 weeks...  but it's the best I can do.  Next there is a season for everything.... maybe next marathon I'll be better trained.

We went on a family "bike ride" (Brandon rode a bike pulling the girls, I ran pushing the little mister).  It's 5 miles shorter than my mid week run is suppose to be this week, but I went.  And I got family time while I was doing it.  double BONUS!

Highlights of my run:

  • The 40+ year old *sitting* on his skateboard, going down a hill, while talking on the phone (so happy I saw him in time, that could have been bad). 
  • The bird that landed on a cactus that literally blended in.  If I hadn't seen it land, I wouldn't have even known that was a bird.
  • seeing and waving to Harvey again (see last Saturday's run)

Not so "good times":

  • rolling my ankle/foot at mile 3.  (It still irritates me, and it a little bruised, but not swollen.)
  • All the bicyclists on the road weren't the friendlist.  They typically are.  I figure it's due to the bike race this weekend.  But still. 

2 weeks left.
