Just catching up

What a whirlwind 4 day weekend that was!!

I was trying to remember if I even ran Thursday morning or not, after the sizzling mile, and I realized that yes I did, but forgot to blog it (too busy blogging about the sizzling mile!). Oh well.. If I couldn't even remember if I ran it probably wasn't a very exciting run anyway.. they all seem to be blending together these days anyway.. I've had a few people tell me recently that they are amazed that I've stuck to the training thus far......funny they should say that... just when I feel my focus wavering, I get those comments and the 'good job, way to go' comments that sort of snap me back on track.. yeah, for those!

Later Thursday I headed out to Knights because I volunteered to chaperon the summer camps trip to Knights Action Park.. it rained, it was cold, it was not a good day for Knights, but the kids didn't seem to mind.. as long as you stayed in the water you were fine.. if you got out, brrrrr...

Friday we headed down to Six Flags for the day and it was a lot of fun! Promised Kaiden right after school was out that we'd take him since he did so well in school, but the next thing you know it's 3 weeks before school starts and we hadn't been yet! Walking all day didn't feel bad at the time, but trying to run Saturday morning was hard.. the Six Flags thing definitely caught up with me.. probably should have just waited until Sunday to run, but who knew?? Plus I was alone which is always more difficult. There was an organized Abe's Amble run that morning that everyone was wanting to do but I opted out. They are all doing Abe's in August, I'm not. Got my 20 miler the day before. But I'll be out there to cheer them on!!!

One of my best friends from high school, Allison is in town from Atlanta so she, Jill and I went out to dinner last night! Jill lives here in town but I haven't been able to see her much lately so it was nice to get caught back up. Last night was 'no kids' but we're taking them to the park Tuesday night before Allison heads back home Wednesday.

And so it's back to early morning runs starting tomorrow... 6 weeks and counting. Wonder if my sister got her ticket home yet?!
