| Slow and congested. We're oozing through the tissues in our house. I think the wind last week stirred something up.

Did the same workout as last Tuesday and was happy to be able to run pretty much the same pace, maybe even a little bit faster! The terrain was a little faster than last week since it was on Marshall road instead of South Boulder creek path.

| Golf course loop. Felt a little tired. Allergies have been acting up again all week. Maybe from all that weeding I did on Saturday.
Decided last minute to register for a little 5K on Friday. My husband and kids will be running the Superior downhill mile at 7am while Kelsie and I will cheer and take pics. Then we'll race hop on over to the Let Freedom Run 5K at 8am in Lousiville where they'll get to cheer for me. Excited to test my fitness in a fun low-key 5K!

I am SO in love with my almost 2-year-old. I leave for my workout while she is still asleep and when I get home, its like a celebration every time.
"HI MAMA! HI MAMA! HI MAMA! HI MAMA!" How do I not shower her with kisses!? What a cutie.
She is a little delayed in her speech probably because her siblings talk for her, but she has finally got everyone's names down.
Mama, Dayee, Eeeb, B, and Ayee
Translation: Momma, Daddy, Abe, Bre, and Ali
Here's a video of our little cutie from a few weeks ago:

| Kelsie and I cheered for and photographed the kids and Aaron in the Superior Downhill Mile at 7am. Aaron was 5:05, 9yo Abe was 7:33, 8yo Bre was 7:40, 5yo Ali was 8:14. Bre and Ali were both the fastest for their age/gender.
After their race, I did my warm-up over to Louisville for a 5K at 8am.
Nice low-key, well-run event, but with the 8am start time it was HOT! There was no shade at all on the course with half of it on a road and the other half on an exposed dirt trail my mouth was incredibly dry a quarter of a mile in and by the time I got to the finish line I guzzled two water bottles. Out and back course, gradual down and then back up. Ran next to the 3rd place male for the first couple of miles until he eventually slowed. He was a 14-y-o Ethiopian named Abreham. I also cooled down with him and told him my son had the same name, only spelled a little differently. He told me about how he had recently been adopted from an orphanage in Ethiopia last August and wanted to be a world-class marathon runner someday. He had met Ryan Hall when he came to Africa to provide running shoes and moral support for kids. Abreham also had three other adoptive siblings from Africa and "two white brothers." I told him to keep up the good work and he could be a world class runner someday too!
After the awards we went back to Superior to pick up our 5 and 8 yo daughters who were riding bikes in the Superior town parade with a friend. Stayed for some kid bouncy house fun and chatting with friends. I was pretty sun-tired and hungry by the time I got home at 11:30 a.m. but it was a fun morning. Happy 4th everyone!
