I hit the snooze alarm once this morning and that put me behind schedule the whole morning. Oh well.

I did the shred level 1 with 5 lb. weights before I took my son to seminary, but I didn't have time to get dressed for running before I took him (I do the shred in my pjs). So after I got back home I got my running stuff on and headed back out. My legs felt heavy. I went faster on Saturday than I intended to and faster than I should have, and I'm still feeling it today. The legs got a little better as the run progressed, but it was easier than usual to keep the slow pace on the run this morning.

Stats for today:

Average pace - 10:42, Splits - 10:57, 11:03, 10:40, 10:34, 10:17

I've got a busy day today. My third son (possibly) broke his finger on Friday evening. I took him to the urgent care because it was too late for the dr's office and they took an x-ray but still weren't sure whether it was broken. So I've got to take him in to his regular doctor this afternoon and have them look at the finger and at the x-ray. I've also got to take my daughter to dance this afternoon. I've got to somehow get in a full day of work too. I'll have to do some work at home tonight. And my first son has an orchestra rehearsal tonight that he needs to be driven to and picked up from. And the second son wants to be taken to the store to buy a game that he's been saving up and waiting for. And I've got to get the third son (the one with the hurt finger) packed for a 3-day outdoor trip he's going on tomorrow with the sixth grade. I'm tired just thinking about it.

Whoosh!! That IS a busy day! Hope you got everything done that you needed to - and I hope your son's finger is doing better. Great running!

That's a lot of TO DO's! I'm glad you got some running in first. Hope that little finger heals quickly. Good luck with your day - you are the hero of this story!

It turns out the finger is not broken, just a lot of soft tissue damage. The doctor we saw yesterday thinks it's better not to splint it because it helps to restore range of motion, so he's glad to have the splint off and I sent him off to outdoor ed with a roll of first aid tape so he can buddy tape his finger before he does anything active.

Also, my daughter didn't want to go to dance and we couldn't find her dance shoes anyway. She's been complaining for several weeks that she wants to quit dance and I'd just as soon save the money and the time, so we didn't go yesterday and I'm letting her quit.

My husband took the oldest boy to and from his rehearsal, but I did do a fair amount of running around to stores for various reasons.
