A billion loops around the neighborhood, the first 2 with Cooper.  My legs started feeling really heavy around mile 9, mile 12 was especially hard.  But I'm happy I did it, and the times weren't too terrible!

I've been slacking on the push-up challenge but got back on the wagon today.  Day 4:   9, 11, 9, 9, 11(max)

Last night I got home around 1am and there were 3 cops, an ambulance, and a fire truck at the house across the street (not the one with the arrest before, the one next to that one).  They were blocking my driveway so I had to park down the street.  What is going on in my neighborhood?  Then I couldn't sleep until that was over so I watched the Grey's Anatomy finale which was a HUGE mistake since it was about a huge shooting at the hospital.  Needless to say it was difficult to fall asleep!  Then this morning there were 2 cops at a different house in the neighborhood.  Getting a little worried about this neighborhood we live in....

Happy weekend everyone!  I wish the weather would cooperate so we could go golfing.

Nice mileage! You're kickin' my butt this week.

Ha! That is definitely not true! The weekly miles look misleading when I do my long runs on Sunday and then the next Saturday. And way to dominate that 5k today!

Yes Nicole! Very impressive! How does your leg feel? Way to go! :)
