I had the brilliant idea today that Teren could bring Cole and Lily to Sugarhouse Park to play while I ran laps with Bill and some of the East High girls. This was great in theory, until a biting wind kicked up right before I started running. Poor Teren had to wait while I finished my run and entertain the kiddos. Cole weathered the cold pretty well, but Lily is only three months old, so she wasn't too happy. Teren had her all bundled up and was holding her when I finished. My kids are going to be tough whether they like it or not!

I ran 6 miles (three laps) around the park. It felt great to get on some soft surfaces. I was going to run one more lap, but decided to have mercy on my poor little family. So, I will be adding on two miles to tomorrow's run.

I've never been able to figure out the kid's playing at the park while I run thing. I'm glad Teren was able to help you out!

It doesn't usually work out very well. I usually spend the entire run worrying about how the kids are doing.
