I'm finally back home.  Ran an easy 6.25 in the p.m.  It was pretty hot and humid--and sunny.  I actually prefer running at my parents'.

Ran 2.2 before the kids got here.  Then, after a warmup, did some ladder intervals today.  I had a hard time keeping up with one of my faster girls, but other than that, it was a good workout.

I ran an easy 6.25 around my favorite route.  I waited until 8 p.m., when it was a little cooler, so the last bit was in the dark.  Every time I run this late, I see an older gentleman walking around my neighborhood and he always smiles and says, "Getting your exercise too?"  It's sorta comforting.

I did an easy 5.6 with the girls, the last 15 minutes we picked up the pace, but I'm still counting it as easy.

Then we had a little scare--one of the girls left us to run ahead, and when we got back to our meeting place she wasn't there.  She didn't drive, and we were wondering if her dad came to pick her up, and in he comes.  So I ran down the trail and the dad drove my assistant to the other side of the trail and he ran back.  About a mile into the run (where I was looking in the ditch/creek for her pink shorts) I got the call that she was okay.  Her dad found her running along the road on the other side of the trail.  She says she wasn't lost...

And then we had to wait because my assistant didn't have his phone with him, so he was slowly running back (looking in the ditch/creek too, I'm sure).  All's well that ends well, but everyone's running with a cell phone next time.  It's funny, because I've never worried about those ahead--I always worry about the stragglers.

I left the house and ran while my hubby took the kids to breakfast.  I told myself that I would keep running after my normal 6.25 if he wasn't home yet.  He wasn't, so I just added my normal 2 mile loop.  

We're leaving for Michigan tomorrow.  I'm thinking about running while we're at the dunes, but that depends on whether hubby thinks he can handle the 3 kids (our 2 and our nephew, who's coming with us).  Otherwise I might run in the p.m. or not at all, depending on how everything goes.
