I'm not crazy...I'm just bored!!

Got some TM/track miles in with Amy at the rec center. A lovely little stroll around for fatigued legs!

Tuesday Ten with the Newtons. Nothing too fast, but an 8:16 pace isn't too shabby either. I was chasing Kim speeding down Main St to the finish. A great day out with the group.

Ended up buying 6 little chicks while Adam was in speech class due to a great priced hen house! I'm excited to finally have chickens!! Everyone picked one. 

Foghorn (Craig's)

Colonel (mine - for colonel sanders, because she is a white chicken)

Duckie (Lauren's - looks like a duck)

Chickula (David's - he is a silly boy!)

Fuzzy (Nathan's - he was the first to know which one he wanted and her name!)

Brownie (Adam's - he was also adamant on the chicken and name)

An early morning run with Amy. Just a nice easy pace 8:21AP around the city. Didn't go back to bed after showering. I was having too much fun hand feeding chicks :)

Shaggy Mountain loop. Faster than last week, but not by much! 1:12

Another track run with Amy this morning. Nice easy pace. I needed to sleep in, I was tired!

Pacing the 1:50 group. A little fast, but overall an okay finish. The mile 12 marker was off so I thought I was late. Everyone assumed the same thing I did, so many were early! There was a little kid (11, I think) that was running his first half with me. Boy was that kid motivated! I was so impressed and as we drew closer to the end of the route he started fading, but we were able to pick up his spirits and bring him in. It was a very moving finish! Especially because I did have to leave him to stay on pace (again, the mile 12 thing) and a guy running with us both, that was a dad, dropped back to help him in. It was also the dad's first half. His wife had made a goal for him to run a marathon this year and this was his first step. She'd passed away in February and so this was his tribute to her and many other supporters were there too. For him to sacrifice that for the little kid just impressed the crap out of me! It really was a great race to pace. Lots of good memories. Including Jonathan sleeping in and missing the buses, but speeding to the start and barely making it! LOL! he will never live that one down. Also, the guy telling me I made it look so easy. A sign in one hand, a drink in the other just chatting away. I love pacing and the friends I meet!!!

Drove down and back with Mike. He had a great race and took me to this bakery afterward with very yummy sweet rolls. I need to find my way back there.
