Laureen and I were really feeling the need to get out for a run this morning as the rest of the week had been such a disaster. We asked the girls if they wanted to go with us and surprisingly both of them agreed (we were more surprised with Brittany as she's never too excited about it -- Amelia's been getting some runs in on the treadmill). We went over to the Lone Peak track so that everybody could run their own distance at their own speed. We jogged a couple of laps together to warm up and then Amelia and I ran a faster lap. She still tends to take off way too fast and then has to stop after 200m or so. I ran a couple of 800s (3:16, 3:15) with some easy laps with the others thrown in and then ran a couple of 400s (1:25, 1:29) just for fun. Everybody seemed to have a pretty good time despite the fact that it was a little on the cold side. With the sun it felt just about right. Laureen and I didn't get in the mileage we were hoping to, but it was an even better day because we had both girls with us. |
