Another swim lessons run. It is so much cooler this week than last week. There was a nice breeze, which made this run pretty enjoyable. My average pace was about 9 mm, but I did try to push it a little during the last 1/4 mile. There is a 5K here Friday evening. A bunch of people I know are running it, wearing their Luke shirts. I am pretty sure I am going to run it too, but I feel kinda torn. I haven't seen my family in a while and my sister invited me up to Michigan. I want to go (I haven't seen her since April, although my kids have seen her since then) but I don't really want to drive. Plus there are some things going on here that I don't want to miss. Chuck's family is still in ultra-togetherness mode, and although I am getting tired of all the love, I feel bad missing it. On the other hand, my SIL probably needs more support than I have been able to give up till now, so I feel like I should make my family a priority. However, my bros family is not going to be in Mich, so I wouldn't see them till Sunday or Monday. So I'll probably decide at the last minute what I'm doing, but if I do stay and run the 5K, I'm not racing it. Just shooting for somewhere around 26 minutes maybe. I also have another decision to make along the same lines: we are supposed to go to Wisc to see my FIL's brother and sisters (a yearly thing) on the weekend of the 17th. But my SIL is having a joint b-day party for her kids that had to be rescheduled around her impending chemo. I feel that I should go to that. My husband and I are thinking about each taking one kid and splitting up, but he wants to take the kid that I want to take :)
