Lots Of Rain, Cross Country Meet, Organizing & More

Monday: It was a smooth morning… The girls got up and got ready for school, they practiced their piano and violin, then did must if their homework. The 2 kids (a 5 year old and 2 month old) I watch came and then shortly after it was off to school. I had to hang around the school for a little while to take care if the 1/2 marathon-marathon challenge. Then my wonderful neighbor, Stephanie, offered to watch my youngest and the 2 month old for me so I could go on a run. 🙂 It was a wonderful run!!! I was able to get 8.9 miles in… In 58:17.16 minutes. The first 39 min was a good climb up (up Harry’s into Woodland Hills). I tempoed 2.9 miles of it down the hill. I ran that in 16:29 and recovered the last 1/2 a mile. I am so appreciative of Stephanie to watch the kids for me! I took all the kids and let them play on the playground. It was a nice afternoon.

I did pack more throughout the afternoon. Very embarrassing to show all the shoes I went through from our storage room. More than half the shoes I have never seen before…

… and then the girls and I headed off to cross country practice. It began to rain hard! But it was a blast!

The workout was a 5 mile workout… 1 mile warmup, 3 mile Fartlek-1 minute hard, 1 minute recovery, and a 1 mile cool down. They ran on our course at the HS. My girls ran a mile with them (well not my youngest). 🙂 As I was driving around today my windshield wipers flew off. Yeah… Not good… This is how I had to drive…

More organizing tonight. 🙂 Fun for me!

Tuesday: The girls were so good this morning… They were dressed, majority of the homework done, and their piano practice done before school started. I watched the 2 kids this morning/afternoon. It went well. I was able to go for a 7.3 mile run in 52:00.62. It was a nice recovery run. It rained all day again and I liked it. We had a cross country meet at our school today. It was with 2 other schools… A small meet. It was great… The rain, the mud and puddles, etc. Our kids ran well!!!

After dinner, I had young women’s. We went to a friend of mines house (Kristen). We were able to swim in her indoor pool. The yw and my girls had fun (ok and so did I)!

The girls went straight to bed when we got home. 🙂 Very nice! My friends came over and we watched Bachelor. Fun times!
