2.5 mile warm up. 6x400. 2.5 mile cool down.  swimming.  (Door to door this took us 2.5 hours).

My splits were consistently 1:39 or 1:40.  This is my regular split for 800s and should have been faster since I was only doing 400s.  Speed has never been my strength.  However, I'm like the tortoise with consistency and endurance.  I guess that is kind of like my personality too.  I feel much better making small, consistent strides towards my goals as opposed to the craziness I feel when life starts moving so fast that I forget what my goals were in the first place.

I had a great time running with my family tonight.  I pushed Kate in the stroller, Mark held Gunner on the leash, and David rode along side with his bike.  We ran into my middle school gym teacher and a wrestling coach of two of my older brothers.  Small world.  

Mark and I switched off running the 400s and keeping an eye on the kids.  They entertained themselves most of the time on the bleachers and in the tires on the field.  It kind of felt like a road trip.  I could hear the intermittent, "MOM!" echo across the field.   They kept asking, "When are you going to be done?" and I had to stop to help Kate pee on the side of the bleachers.  I didn't come as prepared on this run as a road trip though.  Next run I will need TP, wipes, plastic baggies, and snacks.

We finished the cool down at the lake and all spontaneously jumped in water with clothes and all.  I got a second workout helping Kate swim out to the dock while hanging on to a little floaty.  The image of my husband and kids as silhouettes against the moon reflecting off the lake just as the sun had set was pretty neat and will leave a lasting picture in my mind.  You can't beat summer nights and memories like this.
