I ran in the evening today because of other appointments in the morning. I usually try to go around 9:00 when both my babies are asleep and while my husband is working downstairs; but Wednesdays will have to be PM runs since Cami has her therapies starting at 8:00 and getting all 3 girls ready and out the door by 7:30 is impressively busy, even with Mike's help. Mike's been getting up at 4:30 to go cycling lately (poor tired man!) and it's been in the 40's lately at that hour! I went a little longer than my one mile per Sasha's suggestion. It was good. Still no pain in my hip or knees, so maybe I'm finally starting to warm up to being active again. I'll keep it slow and steady, though, and look forward to my 5K on October 20th. I asked the 2 marathoners in my book club if they wanted to run it with me, but one will have just run the Long Beach marathon the week before, and the other - St. George. Oh well. I think my husband is going to run it with me, if we can get someone to stay with our girls. Does anyone else hate 1st grade!?!?! My sweet little 6 year old is struggling with her new Special Ed teacher. I'm going to look into other options because I hate seeing her disliking school more and more; and I'm getting phone calls from the teacher saying, "We're having a power struggle over doing math." Come on! This is special ed! Give her a break and try again in half an hour; don't make life miserable! Ugh. |
