I Probably Should Make My Blog Public again

Still working on my quest to run more.  This time my walking was only .1 mi at a time.  I'm also trying to keep my pace under 10 mm.  Doing well at that, but I've been running on the treadmill, so it's easy to control pace.  Don't know how I'll do once I start running outside, but that won't be for a while.  Too hot and I'm at the mercy of Charlotte.  If I was smart, I would get out of bed when she wakes up at 5, but I'm usually too tired/lazy.  I need to get to bed earlier...

But I will brag about her:  she's been sleeping for a 7 hour stretch (or more) since she was almost 3 weeks old. 

Ran a 5K with my brothers.  Started out knowing that I would be upset if my older brother beat me.  Was initially planning on a run/walk, but I changed my mind part way, thinking that if I couldn't beat him, I would have to run the whole thing.  So I did.

Then it turned out that he was behind me anyway.  He said I was in front of him from the beginning. 

My time was 30:21.  Considering I had abdominal surgery 6 weeks ago, that's all right.  The only bad thing is that now I can't in good conscience continue to run/walk...but 3 miles will be my "long" run for the time being.

After a nice 2 hour nap this afternoon, I ran on the treadmill.  I walked .25 miles after, but am not including that in the mileage.

I got a nice surprise this morning when I checked my checking account this morning.  Chuck took a new position this year (it's going to be an interesting year with all the changes to our lives, but that's another story) and his contract year started July 1.  So he got paid today on his new contract, but also got paid on his old contract.  Yay for money I wasn't anticipating!

Just a bit of news on my job:  I'm going to be the assistant principal this school year (no teaching), but right now we still don't have a principal.  I hope we get one soon so I don't have to do both jobs for any period of time.

2 easy treadmill miles with Charlotte dreaming nearby.  The boys all took a turn too.  Spence and Caleb ran .25 miles and Eli ran .33.
