This ain't no kids game!

Started week 3 of Hal Higdon's 10k training program. Did my "long" run today. 6.5k. Ran around the lake, while my 6 year old rode next to me on his bike. After the first time around the lake, he got so bored, so decided to park his bike and run the next lap around the lake with me. Well, he runs faster than I do, I couldn't keep up with him. If that wasn't embarrassing enough, some guy on a motorcycle pulled up next to me, with a concerned look on his face, and asked me if I needed a ride. My ego is still trying to recover. 

Swim day today. Easier to avoid those creepy people on motorbikes when at the pool than out running. Did a lot more fly than I am use to, and oh how my shoulders are aching. Stretch, stretch, stretch.

My neighbor taught me how to make homemade yogurt. Yum. I used the fresh yogurt to make the yogurt museli recipe, found in the "healthy recipes" section , for breakfast. It was yogurt-licious, even the kids liked it.

Did my 3.5k run before boot camp. I found something that is harder than boot camp, getting a teenage son up in the morning to go to boot camp with you. One we got there, he did a great job, far better than me. 

swim day

Did my short run, 3.5k, then went to boot camp. Today, at boot camp, we did a bunch of  hill sprints. I am developing a love/hate realtionship with those hill sprints. After boot camp, my daughter begged me to go swimming with her. Did a 1.5k swim. After swimming, I thought I would throw in a bike ride and make it like a mini triathalon, so I did a 12k bike ride. Lots of fun, but I may need a nap later today. 

My teenage son woke up in time to go for an early morning bike ride with me. We saw one of the strangest looking dogs along the way. The dog was friendly enough, but seemed to have some sort of a skin condition, or disease, so I decided not to pet it. 

After we got home, the whole family went for a swim at the pool. What was suppose to be a relaxing swim turned into racing each other across the pool. I am not the fastest runner in the family, nor am I the fastest swimmer in the family. Just when I had completed the amount of laps I  wanted to do, and was ready to go home, my daughter begged me to swim "just one more lap"  with her. I declined, on grounds that I was exhausted . She persisted, with a smile on her face, and said, "But mom, if you swim one more lap, then will have more to put on your running blog." I laughed and swam one more lap with her.
