Kind of a hodge-podge day:

Paula called and canceled due to the monsoon this morning.  At first I thought that I would go down to my treadmill, but as soon as I stood up my head hurt incredibly bad.  I laid right back down and slept for 2 more hrs.  I felt the missing of my run for most the morning.  I dragged myself to work and sat and pouted and was lazy for about 2 hrs.  Finally got into gear and got busy!  Ended up with a really productive day.

 Go home from work and my kids were celebrating the last day of school and my husband was busy covering the baseball draft for work.  We needed to go to Costco tonight for  6 mo. food stock up  so I suggested to my husband that I run to Costco and meet him there.  I left thinking that I would get there about the same time as him.  He ended up leaving 10 min earlier then I thought so I only got in 2.52 miles, but my ave pace was 8:40.

Frustrated that I my first run was cut short, I asked him to drop me off at Harmon's on the way home and I would return our Red Box and then run home.  I pushed really hard the first mile and then slowed a bit on the last .5  and finished with a total of 1.6 with an ave pace of 8:34.

My kids are wanting to run with me and then run the WestFest 5K at the end of the month so tonight I ran with my girls and their friends and ran 1 mile in 10:34.

 All over the place but in the end, got some miles, some errands done and time with the kids.

Happy Running!
