I have not run since June 11th but had to do the Freedom Festival because I signed the kids and me up waaaay back in April.  16th out of 101 ladies in my division isn't that  bad-- seeing how I was expecting to BOMB it. My daughter has been doing some pretty serious work outs with XC so I was hoping she'd shine.  Instead she spent the first mile goofing off with her friends until I found her at mile marker 1 and pushed her forward and said "You can not let a flabby 43 year old Mommy beat you ....GO!"  So she cleaned her self up and made two nice splits to the end.  We did all have fun  (even my son who hasn't run a step himself since his school's 5K in May).  Happy 4th!  I ended up running 5 more miles get to the parade and then back home (better than traffic). My girl ran with me one of those extra miles, but let her Dad take her in the car the rest of the way home.

Dropped my kid off at the mouth of the canyon for her group work out, and took off to run a few miles and back. I'm starting to be able ignore the sound of the traffic in the canyon and focus on the river. Was looking on the ground to see if I could find the RHPC markings from last year's half marathon. Man, it's so hot and humid these days with all the clouds and rain. It feels just like the east coast....I'll be there soon. Can't wait.

I made the mistake of seeing 3 doctors today.  I only have had a little time off and needed to take advantage to get everything done that I've been putting off.  But I hate getting touched and prodded, and bled, and injected....all of which happened at all of my appointments and now I just feel old and defeated and violated.

I missed running with the real runners this morning and opted for resting my leg until the injection sites were less sore.  So late in the afternoon I ran from Bridal Veil to Vivian Park and back with my girl.  Taught her the ways of icing tired lets in the stream.  Even though it was an easy, fun run the icy water felt fantastic on my legs.
