It's done - time to enjoy the weekend.

Back from LHP. On to SW

Well I have returned from my mother-daughter (my mom, me and my daughter) bonding trip to Little House on the Prairie sites. It was a good trip. I think Grace was more interested in the pool at the hotel, but she had fun and that is what counts.

Today Nate, Ben and I are off on our mother-son bonding trip to see the Star Wars in St. Paul.

So, on top of all of this bonding, I bonded with Sandy, Christy and Katie this morning by running a 8:39 pace! Good job! As my mom would tell Grace - "Strong Women!"

Working Hard?

Kwik Trip girl was kind enough to put up with a slow, slow run this morning. My legs felt like they were filled with cement and the feeling never went away. Luckily for me Jill as in her "happy place" (probably because I didn't greet her with "let's do hills"). The conversation was lively and funny and helped very much to keep negative thoughts at bay (thank you, thank you).

I don't know if it was my body reacting to the interval training and pace work or the fact that we started running 2.5 hours later than normal. I am hoping it is the intensified training. Another way your body shows the training is pushing me.

Currently, I am sitting in a sweltering pool watching Grace and friend go down a water slide. Yes, I know, I could go in, but.....

I hope to be back to my running form on Wednesday morning.... wish me luck!
