I felt dead today. but im not dead yet.

spent the day at the clark planetarium with the 6th graders. Saw two cool movies, one on black holes and the other on the moon. To bad you cant appreciate those movies when you are in 6th grade and it takes being the mom at the field trip years later to really understand the significance of that stuff.

Came home with a really bad headache, going to lay down before the chaos of homework begins. Doubt I will run.

I went running, thats all you need to know.

Ran with Erin, found a new trail by our house, it was awesome! Felt AMAZING!! wish every day was as good as this one.

took my sis to run errands this morning since she cant drive right now. came home put on my running clothes, got some phone calls, then my bro and sis in law showed up, didnt leave until 5:00. {still in my running clothes} then kids started to complain they were hungry. made dinner, did homework, went to a class and now im home. finally took off my running clothes and put on my pjs. Better luck tmrw.

Cam watched the bean while Erin and I went for a quick run. Felt good, went up a long hill. I was breathing really hard but I needed that. Lab results from dermo came in last night, he wants to see me this afternoon. Have a little bit of skin cancer on my face that we need to look at further. Im sure its fine. Everyone remember to wear your sunscreen when you run!!

Today I did the elliptical for 30 min. It said I burned 480 cal. I dont know how accurate that is but Ill take it! Havent been able to get my heart rate up for a week now so I was desperately needing that. I was going to do yoga but I needed to breathe hard. Mission accomplished.  Last night I had the grandparents over for dinner to celebrate my oldest daughter who will be 12 tomorrow, I cant believe it. So between the 2 cakes and the homemade icecream, I was feeling a little disgusting. Im off to run errands with my aunt and mom which is why no run today. They are interrupting my run time, how dare they!!

went to eat lunch at the school with my daughter today for her birthday and felt that I still needed to try and run even though I know better than to run right after eating. So the good news is I ran today and the bad news is I have heartburn. Its worth it. 

Was doing great until I ran into Erin who was driving and I stopped to chat with her for awhile. That threw off my groove and it was hard to get going again. Honestly, I couldnt wait to be done. But always happy I went. And happy I can run.

Went on a long speed walk with Erin pushing strollers. We each had one with one of her kids  in it. We went and did the really steep hill that we used to do hill repeats on and holy crap! With a stroller and a kid it is tough! I had my butt sticking stait out and was bent in 1/2 trying to get it up the hill I could feel the back of my thighs and butt burning. It was a good workout even though it wasnt a run.

Well I may not have run everyday this week but I did get a workout every day this week so Im happy about that.

Today felt good, around the last mile there was big head wind that kicked up which was blowing my hair every which way and making things a little more difficult. But overall it was a good relaxing run and my thoughts were preoccupied with other things so that made the run go by quickly and effortlessly.

Have a good weekend

well 3 will have to be good enough for me.

Not a great race for me on time, I ran it with my original running friend Stacie and Erin and Scott. This was Stacies first one back after her baby was born. I stayed with her alot of the time and then at the end we ran in together, got the exact same time. Erin was having knee issues and had to stop and walk the last 1/2 mile. Felt bad for her. Scott did it in 27 minutes which is really slow for him. It was really cold as the rest of you know and hard to get that inhale of oxygen. But the course was fun and the crowd was huge. Much bigger than I expected.

Now Im exhausted from two turkey dinners and a marathon day. Going to bed, Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. Good Night.

p.s. Im grateful today for running.  The camaraderie of it all.

My dryer broke a few days ago and I have to wait a week for my new one. So I went to my moms to do laundry this morning and she watched Soyer while I ran on the Draper trail. It was fun. Had to dodge horse poop and that made me happy bc Im glad I live where there is still places for horses to be and trails that they can poop on.  Came home to drop Soyer off at school and I know when I go back to pick up my laundry, it will all be folded and done. What a nice mommy I have.
