Did my best to get the run in early.  I have so much to do getting back to work, getting the house moved, etc.  Today my daugther and her friends all showed up at 7:00 to run.  I love her little girl-friends.  They are so energetic and full of life.

No one wanted to run with me today.  I'm feeling less anxious about the weight I gained in Chile.  I think at least 2-3 pounds of it was water retention from the TWENTY-EIGHT hour flight home.  That fell off in just  a few days.  Now I'm down to the real 5 pounds of dulce de leche on my hips.

Jaylyn showed up again this morning to run.  She and her sister Maya, and my daugther and a few other friends of theirs have taken turns running with me in the mornings.  It's been so much fun to have their silly, girly company. They talk about soccer, how they want to decorate their houses, who should run for student body president.  I love it.  Jaylyn and her sisters are fantastic, natural atheletes.  Jaylyn likes to sprint the last .2 miles toward home and when she takes off, she sails straight and smooth ahead of me.  You know they're good when they make it look easy.  Jaylyn is just brimmng with promise and goodness it fills my heart to watch her take it full board.

My little neighbor Maya came over to run 5 miles with me.  AP 9:40.  Not bad for an 11 year old.  Maya beats my son in all the track meets at the 200 in the 400.   She's really talented. She stuck with me all 5 miles even when she could have easily gotten off the trail at 4 miles.  These kids are so full of strength and beauty, it's giving me energy just to run along side them this Summer.
