| After a busy day of sleeping in a little (we usually get up for 7:30 mass), mass (we went to 9:00), cleaning (our house was a disaster and is currently immaculate for about 20 more minutes), gardening (planting my mother's day present and cutting down the huge amounts of ornamental grass from last year so that this year's growth could come in), I Wii Fitted for an hour and a half while Chuck took the kids to the farm. I did pretty much every exercise that I had unlocked, except for the balance stuff. I didn't mean to do it that long. I like the yoga and the strength stuff. Then the rest of the fam came home and after dinner we played some of the balance games. Caleb likes the ski jump. He's the best of us at that game. Hope everyone had a happy Mother's Day. I definitely have to start running today (it's now Monday). I fear that if I don't run today I will keep avoiding it.

| In my thoughts I am reducing mileage, so since I only did 3, I ran it faster than I would run more miles. Don't know if that is what I should do or not. I'm trying now to figure out if I am training for anything now. I'll figure it out.
And I hate wind. And it was really hot. There. I got out there. It wasn't a lot, but it was something, right? |

| Another quick 3 after a Home and School (that's our PTA, I guess) meeting that moved me to volunteer for something that I instantly regretted volunteering for...but it probably won't be too bad. I was glad that I waited till dusk because it was over 90 during the day. Though it wasn't much cooler when I ran, at least I know it wasn't over 90 anymore. Towards the end of my run, when it was pretty dark, I was stopped by a walker. At first I thought it was this crazy runner that I sorta know, but it was actually a woman with mental retardation who lives in a group home that is not too far away from our house. I see her walking a lot. I stopped and talked with her for a couple minutes, but I can't believe whoever's in charge there lets her walk alone in the dark. She was wearing a reflective vest, but she was wearing all dark clothes underneath. Hopefully she was just walking to the end of the block and back, but since there were no sidewalks she was walking on the side of a pretty dark road. I guess in retrospect I probably should have kept an eye on where she was going. I'm a jerk.
