Slept in so missed the group run.  Got 3 miles in on the treadmill before the kids got up.

Had a great run this morning in the drizzle.  I love the rain.  Felt really good.  I am bummed though, my Garmin quit working before the WBR and I still can't get it to turn on.  Using my old watch and map my run I determined my distance to be 8.1 miles with an AP of about 8 minute miles.  That's actually faster than I had anticipated.  I had planned to keep it easy, and it felt pretty easy so I guess thats a good sign.  My legs were a little tired at the end but overall a really nice run.

Had a soccer game today at 12:30.  Man was it hot.   Both teams were short players, so I got to run the top myself.  I had my team send me on as many runs as they could.  It was actually really fun.  I am amazed at how running has improved my ability on the soccer field.  The game was called at half because the goalie on the other team broke her hand trying to stop my corner kick (which ended up going in-  sad for her x2).  I feel really bad.  I don't think in the 34 years I have been playing I have ever hurt anyone.  I guess its not really my fault but I still feel crappy about it.  After she left her team still wanted to scrimmage so we played for a while longer.  I had a hard time getting into it but wanted the exercise.  Great sprint workout- I'm going to count 2 miles for it.

Got home and tried to put the baby down for a nap, but he didn't want any of it.  I talked my husband into going for a run because the running stroller will usually put the baby to sleep.   Not today, but I got in another 4 miles.  It felt like more than 4 miles because it was soooo hot.  I guess thats what I get for running at 3:00 in the afternoon. 

 I hope the BBK schedule will fit into my schedule again in the fall.  I need someone to run with early in the morning.
