Running because I can!

I ran the same loop as I have the last few days. It was a bit easier today than it has been and we ran it in just under 20 minutes.  I am so looking forward to adding miles and hills back in.

On another note I got the sealer from the cannery today and canned 35 cans of food. After I sealed the first can the second can got stuck and it took a good hour to get it off then it would not work. I spent 3 hours to get 5 cans done before I finally fixed the stupid thing.  I sealed 78 pouches and 70 cans today. My back is killing me.  

Now that I have my food storage under control I can focus on the class I have to teach in July.  I may be on the bottom of the food chain here on the blog as far as running and eatting goes, but I was asked to teach a healthy eatting class in july. ( Apparently I have something to teach someone)         

I forgot my knee brace today and I felt the run more than usual but we ran faster today than our previous runs.  I think we might try an extra mile tomorrow.  We run the first 2 and then walk about .25-.50 to cool down.

I am really trying to get up so I can go lift weights before my run. I am going to try to get to the gym tonight so I can swim some laps.  

I got up and ran with my neighbor 2.77 miles. We turned and went on a trail by a creek and it was so nice to be in the shade. I am not sure what the temp is at 8:00am but it sure feels hot.  I walked about the last .40. then I came home and ran on my treadmill. My legs are stiff other wise I feel pretty good.  

I was planning on sleeping in but loud cannons started to go off at 6:00, So I got up and got my 7 year old up and we went out. I ran and she road her bike. We did stop to pick some huge red cherries that were hanging over the fence, and we stopped to throw about 30 huge snails out of my neighbors back corrner where the sprinklers had just gone off.  I dislike snails more than any other little slimmy thing around here. They will eat a whole garden plant over night.  My legs were pretty stiff.

Then we went to our ward breakfast.  I am having a hard time with my eatting again now that it has gotten so hot.  I don't wantto eat all day then night comes when it cools down and I eat everything all at once. It is very bad.

I tinkered around to long before my run so I did not get out until 10:30. What a big diffrence in heat. It was so hot out there. I took my 7 year old with me again and she wanted to stop under the big cherry tree again. I need to work up some nerve and go ask if we can pick a bunch of them because that tree is huge and full of cherries and they are starting to go bad already and no one is picking them. (but me and my daughter on our way by)

I went to the gym after my run and worked my legs and arms, then I swam a half mile.  I thought maybe I should not count it on my cross training but decided it was just to much work not to count it.  I felt so good after the swim and all day. We even took our kids and dog down to a creek by our house and played for an hour and a half and then we took the boat out and did some late night fishing.

Well today I am so stiff, every muscle in my body hurts.
