Ran my son to school, then ran a couple more miles. Had to take the double jogger for the last mile, because James had to take the car in. 12:50 (with my son), 10:20 alone, 10:23 partly with the jogging stroller, .89 at 11:20 pace with the stroller.
1.3 miles later to pick up my son from school.
I'm feeling really happy because James doesn't have to work today! Yea! We are gonna carve pumpkins and other fun stuff.
But I am also feeling slightly creeped out because I had to kill a bark scorpion.
Incidentally, the first scorpion I ever saw was on my 2 year-old's back! He came running to me saying, "a crab! a crab!"
I said, "A crab? Where?"
He replied with obvious delight, "On my neck!"
Sure enough, it was the venomous bark scorpion on his shoulder blade. I brushed it off and killed it, and we obviously both lived to tell the tale. But this is just one more reason why I want to move to New Mexico. NO SCORPIONS! |
