Personal:
I run with God. I use my running time to contemplate, to pray and to listen for His call. I'm married to a non-runner, but a supportive one, and we have four children.
I have been taking care of my niece and nephew since Sunday. With the extra kids and Chuck still working, it was hard to get out until today, though I did play in the pool all day on Sunday and do the Wii Fit for 1 1/2 hours on Monday.
To take the edge off the extra kids, I had a drink with dinner. Then I went running. Smart? Nah. Delish? Yesh.
After running last night, I took what may be my last opportunity to run this week. Chuck is going out of town till Saturday, and I'll still have the extra kids till he comes back. I may be able to finagle a run on Friday if my bro-in-law takes the kids to the farm. We'll see.
It was hot, but not as hot as last night. It will be mid 90s again today...
