AWESOME DAY!!!!!!

8 miles with Ry AP 9:22

*Ry surprised me by taking today off of work. Then he surprised me again by saying he would run with me. Then he surprised me a third time by running 8 miles!!!! That is the furthest he has run in about 2 years. SO SO SO SO SO MUCH FUN!!!!! :) :) :) Then we went to breakfast, did some shopping, went to lunch, and then chilled at home. :) :) :)

p.m.

60 minutes upright bike

8 miles which included 5 fast (for me) 800s and 1 1200 at my max. Pushed hard.

A fabulous lunch with many of the Chumps and a few others (Rob, Ann, and Fonz). The pizza I had was AWESOME, the company was even better!!!!

Elliptical shopping with my SSF!!!! :) :) :)

THANKS ALL for a wonderful day! :) :) :)

8 miles AP 8:34.

This is usually a pace that a really enjoy. Today I felt super tired and blah. I hope that means that my speed workout yesterday was a good one! :)

Incredible Day!!!!

Slept in.

When I woke up I asked my oldest daughter if she would run with me. She was too tired to get up, but my two youngest girls said they wanted to run. After we finished running one of my boys wanted to run. When that was over my oldest decided she wanted to run after all. Only one of my boys did not want to run outside today, he did end up doing 1 mile on the treadmill though. I was SO SO SO impressed with all of my kids. I am the luckiest mom in the world! :)

5K with Sophia (8) and Livvy (7). High 11s, but no stopping -- I knew Sophia could run this distance, but Livvy completely surprised me! :)

5K with Oliver (7). High 10s and low 11s. Once again, I was completely surprised. I thought we would run 1 to 2 miles, but he insisted that we matched his sisters' distances. :)

3.5 miles with Rylee (13). AP 9:19. She wanted to run to Nana and Papa's and then have Papa drive us home. However, Papa was not there and so I ended up running home and then driving back to get her. She did awesome. I always wonder what she could do if she trained. This is the first run she has run for a LONG time!!!

3.5 miles by myself. AP 7:17. Ran as hard as I could. Felt tired but not horrible. Was happy to stop for a couple lights. :)

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL DAY!!!! :) :) :)
