nothing like waking your kids up at 630 so they can go to practice in the "rain".
Jo was like "but mom its raining" .... It actually wasnt raining.. it was drizzling.. so we went anyway...
its soooo fun to run in the rain (drizzle) :) when we walked in the door after practice Jo said "daddy. ... lets go camping.. its awesome outside!" ... proving thats some things that could be excuses to NOT run sometimes turn out to be inspiration to do something else too!
I ran 2 "warm up" laps with Cat ... and i cant believe how fast her warm up pace is! she is getting so strong.. and is quickly leaving her mom in the dust! which is so cool :)
after the 2 laps.. i stretched and "recovered".. then I ran 6 more laps with the last 4 being a sort of spring work out. I would walk from the start line to about the 300 meter mark and gradually get faster and faster... then... do it again. The last lap i started at the 200 mark and could barely make it to the finish line.
I am trying hard to really push myself just because i can really really feel my body FINALLY getting stronger :)
I finished watching Spirit of the Marathon yesterday and it was GREAT.
they have it to watch for FREE download on Netflix
and i just had to look up Katherine Switzer on line. heres an interview:
we are going campin for a few days.. so i wont be on line for a day or so... i will be going on a trail run while i am out though :)
