Went to watch my hubby's cousin in the Chicago marathon.  We set up our plan so we could see him a bunch of times and then I went with his wife and son to run with him for a couple miles.  He wanted to run @ 11 min pace and was ahead of that pace for the first 1/2. When we were waiting for him at mile 20 we waited....and waited...and waited.  He came through way later than expected.  Leg cramps.  He shuffled along and we shuffled with him for 4 miles (I'm not counting it).  It was also really hot (over 80) and he was pretty disappointed.

I probably walked over 10 miles today.  But it's always fun to watch the runners.  There was a guy who ran the whole race wearing a giant Eiffel Tower.  It looked heavy.

3.5 easy miles.  When I get out I love running, but I am struggling with motivation right now.

Ahhhhhh.  This is the first week in a long time that I have managed to work out more days than not.  And I had a good run.

Ran with my good friend Colleen, who is training for her first 1/2.  It is next week.  We ran 5 together, she went out for another 5 mile loop, and I went for one more mile, taking Caleb and Haley (Colleen's oldest daughter) out for a little over one more mile.  Then, of course, I had to take Eli and Caty (Colleen's youngest) for an "adventure."  The last bit of running was REALLY slow.
