7 easy.  one before amber came out of apartment.

almost 1.  0.86.  first mile around her complex.

8:38 avg and first mile pace as well.   slowed for my daughter.  felt nice out.  chilly but amber wore shorts!!  amber and i  ran toward lake to what i thought we'd do  3 out and back but she was out of apartment late.  she turned at 2.7.   I went to 2.94.  total 2.5 min stoppage mainly at the car waiting for her to get ready by car and checking if bathroom open.  It was not.  amber didn't want me to use hers bc worried kyle in shower.  said it was weird any way and that i should not come in much.  so i drove to a bathroom. came back and took her to work.    ocd is hard to live with.  everything in her mind is wrong.  its the great "loop of wrongness".    i rarely can win.  took a bit for me to catch her so those two miles 8:19 and 8:09.  and stopped to try bathroom at park.  really hope zoloft works for her.  

two weeks on sertraline (amber) trying 100 mg today.

Paced with Enrique.  First picked up amber at her apartment at 745 am.  Got there at 815 am.  Got our Santa suits. Took pics.  Stopped at bathroom. Missed group pic of pacers. But was spot on on pace.  1:39:37!  Course on.   A little further than Salem witch half.  Which I came in 1:37:57. So first mile maneuvered through 1000 Santa's Bc we thought we had to do 0.7 out and back total then 4x1.55!  Apparently that is snow route but ws said on site current Bc of lack of numbers doing half.  Thirty seconds before we start they tell us it's back to original course out and back 6.55 miles. So here we are way back.  Anyway first mile 8:07 with the bottle neck 0.4-0.5 miles of crowded Santa's.  rest pretty even 7:33-7:43 pace. Most 7:35-7:36.  Have a really bad headache Sunday. Feels like I am getting a cold. So about to take zinc and hope I keep it at bay.  Troy has a bad cough/cold all week !
Amber came in at 53:09. Saud coming back after 3.1 out was a night mare ! Maneuvering ! Second place age bracket !
