Yea! I did it!! 6 runs in a week. I looked through my calendar and I've only done that one other time in the last year - last November! And I remember that it was mentally fatiguing to do it then. I don't feel physically or mentally tired from the effort this week! In fact, it wasn't until Wednesday that I realized I was on a roll. That makes me happy; it tells me that I'm becoming more of a runner. I've watched Lybi run 6 times a week for weeks - even months! And I've always just said that I wasn't ready for that. But maybe I am now. My garmin actually ran out of battery before the end of my run, so I used the cool course tool to check my mileage (it's a fun tool). While on my run, I found a new path that I'm so excited about; and it actually had another trail that it intersected, so I'm anxious to check that one out too! Yea!! Today was a good day. I had wanted to get in a long run today, but my hip - or more appropriately my femur - did something very weird last night. It didn't hurt, but it was obviously not in it's correct position. It felt soooo wrong just walking. I kept stretching my hip, and it helped a little; but that in addition to getting to bed at midnight made it a little too tempting to turn the alarm clock off this morning (plus, my girls were up multiple times last night!) I took my 7 year old to a birthday party, where 3 other girls with special needs were invited to a party for just them. The birthday girl is such a little angel - she really loves special needs children. (I love those kind of children.) Cami did better than I thought she would. She ... kind of played the games, and was very happy decorating her own little cake; and then we went to McDonalds (always a good thing in Cami's book). And then, this evening, I got to go to the RS Broadcast and enjoy a chocolate fountain afterwards! Sooo fun. I ended up talking the whole evening with a lady who had adopted a little boy who was 4 days old. She grew up in MI, in the ward that we lived in 5 years ago. Such a small world! So, we laughed about the funny people in that ward, and the interesting experiences of adoption. [By the way, my femur and pelvis are dong much better today. I felt it the whole run, but it's been 4 hours and I'm not sore or hurting - so that's a very good sign!] Holy smokes -- have I ever written such a long post!?!? I'm in a real gabby mood! ;o)
