Tom and I were joined by John A for our hill repeats this morning. It was a beautiful morning to be out and about! Maybe a bit windy here and there, but so pretty! I did 6 ninety second hill repeats. They both did 8. It was fun to watch them from behind as they seemed to be effortlessly climbing that hill! They both looked great! However, I was happy to see that when they were at the top and ready to turn around they both looked like they had put a lot of effort into it and it wasn't quite as easy as it looked like. After I did 6 I ran the street at the top of the hill for awhile until they finished with their last two. It was fun to run alongside 3 deer bounding gracefully in the lush meadow while waiting for the boys. There was also the neatest cloud formations. It looked like a giant staircase to heaven. The morning sun was just shining through and giving it a pretty pink glow! I really think someone special was climbing that stairway to heaven right then. Today marks the 15 month mark for our son in Japan. Only 9 months left. I can feel like it's the beginning of a pregnancy again. (this is a pregnancy I can really run through!) Make sure you are all reading this correctly....I am NOT really pregnant, I am just comparing the rest of his time to a pregnancy! I'm afraid he will be a bit over due this time though. He left on Feb. 28 so it's likely he won't be home until March sometime. |
