Easy run.

6:09 am, 66° F, 38% humidity, wind 5 SSE.

I ran the University/County Line loop like I did last Thursday and went through the big sprinklers in front of an apartment complex again. I got good and wet and was actually a little cold afterwards.

I just have to say, parenting is hard.

Yep, parenting is hard! And I find older kids need/like just as much attention as younger ones! Nice job being consistent with your runs this week considering everything you have going on. Good luck with the back to school activities and moving your older son to college!

Parenting IS hard! That is why it is so rewarding. You do a great job fitting it all in Carolyn; I am in awe.

I fear my kids getting older. I still like that they want to be with me, even my 12 year old. Good luck. We are all thinking about you and wishing you the best.

You're good example is going to mean a lot to your kids when they're adults.

Good luck Carolyn, hang in there, we're all with you in spirit.
