Got to run with my nephews again this morning.  Very fun!  The family's training for a 5K this summer and they've been slowly increasing their running every time.  On Saturday, only 2 of the kids ran with me without stopping.  But today, they all did!  Woohoo!!  I've told them they need to join the FRB and enjoy the support and strength of so many wonderful runners.  Plus, since they live in St. George, they could even meet many other FRBers.  

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!  What a great country we live in!!!  I'm so grateful to all those who fought - and continue to fight - to maintain the freedom and opportunities that I too often take for granted.

Running this morning with my 2 friends - it was remarkable cold with the wind.  I know 4-1/4 is a jump in my mileage, but I actually walked 3 different times.  One of my friends is having a real problem lately with her irritable bowel syndrome; so while she found a bush, I walked ahead.  Afterwards I stretched for a long time to help my hips, and I'm feeling good even after a couple of hours!  My nephews ran a little later with their mother, while I watched their 3 month old and 5 year old.

This morning was super fun!  I got to run with my sister-in-law, Amy!!  Her kids were sleeping at friends' houses, so once our 2 youngest babies were in bed, we left Mike with the monitors and headed out the door.  It was chilly, cloudy, and very humid with last night's rain; but it was so fun to run with someone who is at the same level as me.  We chatted the whole time and just had a great time together!!  I wish I could run with her every day.  Bummer they live in St. George now (they used to live here).  hmph.

 I'm gonna be bummed when my company leaves on Friday.  Who will I get to run with me?  It's so much fun to go with other runners (and not always be dying - like with my 2 friends on Mondays.  huff, huff, huff) : )

Slow hardly begins to describe this "run"!  I took both girls in the running stroller and went around my neighborhood with my sister-in-law and her son (the one who doesn't like to run).  Sometimes on the uphill, I walked about as fast as I was running.  ; )  But hey, it was cardio work!   I might have a six run week this week without even working hard to do so - just because I've had people to run with.  Wow, that really says something, huh?  I need to work harder at finding running partners.

Bummer.  I was so close to a six a week.  I could whine about my day, but the truth is - I could've squeezed it in somehow.  The elusive sixer.  Humph.
