Recovery run + core conditioning

5:42 am, 26°F, 88% humidity, winds calm, patchy fog.

Busy morning again. I had to do some take-care-of-the-family stuff before my run, so I only had time for the 3 miles in shoes portion before the drive to seminary. I did the 2 miles in VFFs and the core conditioning after the drive to seminary.

I've got another busy day at work and then I've got to leave early so that I can usher at my husband's orchestra concert tonight. I have to do that to get discounted tuition for my sons in the youth orchestra that's affiliated with my husband's orchestra. My oldest son is actually playing with the grown-up orchestra tonight. I don't know when or how we're going to have dinner tonight.

Tomorrow's marathon-pace long run is in jeopardy because of all the things the kids need.

AP: 10:21. Splits: 10:55, 10:21, 10:16, 10:12, 10:00. (An accidental progress that never got fast.)

As always your dedication to get everything accomplished is amazing. I hope you can figure out options for your long run. I'm sure it will all be taken care of :)

Good job getting your run in with all of the business in your family life. I hope you can get some rest time this weekend.

From Tracy on Fri, Mar 05, 2010 at 11:11:42 from 208.54.7.131

Good job getting in the run despite the business. Get done what you can tomorrow. I am sure you will find a way to get in a meaningful run!

Sorry life has gone crazy for you for a bit! I'm sure things will work out one way or another for your run tomorrow. If I know you, you'll get it in - even if it's at 11PM :)

For dinner run through Subway drive thru and eat on the road - it's 'healthy', right?

You work so hard at everything you do. I hope you find a way to run tomorrow...do something for you in between doing for everyone else.
