I Probably Should Make My Blog Public again

I went camping this weekend sans Chuck but with all the kids.  I don't feel too bad about not running--lots of activity and it was exhausting but fun.

Today it was 3 miles with my biker girl.  I don't know that the stops at the park are good for my endurance, but they are good for bonding.

2 really slow miles with some non runners.  It was good company though.

I'm in the middle of 3 late nights at school in a row.  Last night was a talent show (I performed with another teacher and was awesome).  Tonight is volleyball.  Tomorrow is football.

I ran most of this on the track because it started to rain as I headed out and I figured I should probably stay close to the school in case the heavens opened up.  They didn't, so I felt sorta stupid running circles around the football team's practice.

4 miles during Char's ballet.  It was warm, sunny, but very windy.

4 very whiney miles with Charlotte on her bike.  I believe that I used the phrase suck it up at least a thousand times.  I feel like running with her biking is really holding me back on my running progress. 

It was misty out.

4 miles. This was a nice run cool, overcast, breezy weather.

3 miles on the treadmill right before bed.

An easy paced 4 miles after school.  Weather was good for me.  I wore a long sleeved shirt for the first time in a while.  I probably didn't need to, but I also wasn't uncomfortable.

5 miles. It was warm and sunny. This is always a struggle for me. But I made it.

Four miles in wind and relative cold (45-50). Felt so much better. I was at my sister's, and because they had so much rain last night, it was also very puddly.

4 east miles. It was a little chilly, but good.

Yoga with one of the teachers followed by 2 slow miles.

4 miles with the girls CC team. I was happy that I kept up with them. Their easy pace was not easy for me, but not crazy hard either. Our splits hovered around 8:30 pace, with the last mile of 8:21. There's a hill within the last half no back to school and I had to internally yell at myself to stick with the pace. I wasn't about to let the young whipper snappers drop me.

Probably a little more than 2 miles at school, but I don't know the exact distance.  It was nice out.

This was maybe 2 and a quarter.  I've had a touch of a stomach bug and waited all day.  Thinking I'd be good, I ran around 7.  I was not, but I made it a short loop.

3 on the treadmill.

I brought clothes to run in at school, but they were not the right clothes.  It was about 40 and rainy.  So I ran out about a half mile, realized that it was ridiculous, and ran back to school.  I thought briefly about running inside the school, but my shoes were wet from the rain.

3 treadmill miles.

I ran a little more than 3 with Eli biking with me.  I feel like this balances out Tuesday, which wasn't quite 1 mile.

4 miles in the late afternoon.  It feels like this week went straight from summer into winter.  It was barely 40, but really windy.  It's supposed to warm up next week.  It would be nice to have some fall weather.

I think it's partially because of allergies, but my cough is back.  Probably need to start using the old inhaler again.  I feel like that might just be helpful all around.

4 miles.  Eli rode with me for the first 2.5 miles, and then we stopped at the park to meet everyone else there.  We played some tag there for a while, and then Eli ran the rest of the 1.5 miles with me while Caleb rode his bike home.  Eli did a good job with my pace.  While I don't think I was particularly fast, I was probably still between 8:30 and 9 pace.
