Today is my husband's 32nd birthday (happy birthday honey!) and to celebrate, we were still camping this morning.  He told me I better get up and go running or I'd be mad at myself later.  (He knows me so well!)  So, I did.  4 miles, 2 uphill, and then 2 down.  Man, uphill bites!  But uphill, in the mountains, in high elevation... yikes!  I'm pretty sure I'll be feeling that tomorrow.

I don't know if I was feeling "frisky" today, or the competitive nature in me jumped into gear, but I killed almost 15 mins off my time this morning.  Every time I bike I end up  sharing the road with two other bikers that always lose me :o(.  {They are on road bikes and I am on a mountain bike...  the physics just isn't on my side}.  Well this morning, one of the two bikers must have dropped something, so they both stopped, and I flew past them.  Then I spent the next 2.5 or 3 miles riding as fast as I could to keep my lead.  When I got to my turn, I looked back and saw them coming.  I turned and started heading up hill, and I got to a point where I thought I was going to have a heart attack (okay, maybe not that bad), so I looked back, and they were no where in sight.  I'm a dork, they must have turned the other direction, and here I was all parinoid that they were going to fly by me at anytime.   It's kind of funny, but I sure did get a good work out this morning.  :o)

It has been a heck of a day, to say the least.  My poor little girl woke me up moaning at midnight.  I didn't know that babies could moan like that.   Anyhow, she has the flu :o(.  No good!  So, I didn't run this morning, I spent all day with her.  I did do some kickboxing during one of her naps and cleaned my house  (it was pretty embarrasing).  After the hubby got home from mutual he took over and I went for my run.  (Melanie was already asleep, so he just "chilled").  He also timed me, and I'm proud to say that I ran my 3.1 miles in 25 minutes (give or take a few seconds because he forgot to hit the end button when I got back).  That's crazy!  And... i'm pretty sure I know what running on the sun feels like!  Yuck!  I can't handle the heat!  Back to morning running for me!

I ran later this morning than I normally do (leaving the house at 7).  I was actually surprised with myself for getting up.  My daughter is still really sick and spent all night last night crying in pain and throwing up.  It's aweful.  I don't there is anything worse than that helpless feeling when your kids are sick.  She is acting alittle better this morning, so hopefully she is getting better. 

This morning's run felt really good.  I was going slow (about 9-1/2 min/mil), and I actually got passed by a little boy who was "cruising" to school on his bike.  That was kinda funny.  I'm glad I got up and ran.  There is something about running that makes you feel better about yourself.  :o)

Melanie and I ran 3 miles to a park...  Then I let her play on the swings!  (which she throughly enjoyed).  Then we ran the mile back to our house.  It was a good run, and really nice to get out of our house (I feel like I have been trapped in this house all week... oh wait... I have).

Here is a picture of Melanie enjoying the swing.
