I danced like a mad woman on Saturday and took Sunday off for traveling and general weariness.  Now I can rest, at least till XC starts next week...Then it's off to school.  This summer went by too fast.

I just ran an extremely easy 5.5 miles in the p.m.  It was cooling off and a bit windy.

Hoping to get in more of a run later today when hubby gets home.  I had XC this morning and I felt the need to call it off at the beginning of our run when it started to get dark--I knew storms were coming, but we probably could have finished at least 5 miles before it the storms really came.  Oh well.  Better safe than sorry. 

 

Added 5 miles in the p.m.  I felt much more lively than I've felt in about 3 weeks.  Maybe it was the 2 hour nap that I took in the afternoon...

I ran/walked with the kids this morning.  I may get out and run later, but it depends on what time hubby comes back.

 

A flat (well, shredded, really) tire took up a lot of this evening.  I'm just finished with dinner and it's already dark...so no more running, but I'm not really all that sad.

I've never changed our new van tire before.  I'm glad I was able to get hold of my husband and his bros, because it took all 4 of us to put on the spare.  And that was after the car fell off and bent the jack.  Also, who knew the spare was in the front of the van?  I hope I never have to change it myself.  I honestly don't think I can do it.

Lately I've been pretty indifferent to running, but I'm hoping that my motivation is coming back.  This run today actually felt pretty great.  I had limited time to run, so I decided to pick up the pace a little bit.  My first 2 miles were avg. 8:30 pace, then I ran one at a bit over 8, one at about 9, and another at 8.  I tried to relax a little bit on the 4th mile, but in relaxing, I slowed a bit too much.  The other thing I tried to work on was using my abs a bit more instead of letting it all hang out :)

Then it was off to the IL Shakespeare Festival.  My hubby and I saw Richard III.  It was quite good and at a pretty cool venue.  I've always known about the fest, but have never made my way over there, but this year they actually radio advertised and I was able to get a 2 for the price of 1 deal.  We've decided that we'll have to make this an annual thing.

Roughly 4 miles.  It's hot today.  

I originally planned on running longer today, but I have a little more time tomorrow, so I'll try to run longer tomorrow.
