I met up with Amber, Melissa and Scott at the high school. We went on a different 7 mile loop today (the extended Bunny run as the high school kids call it). It was a nice change. We ran about a 7:44 min pace and finished in 55:19.76. My right butt hurt bad for the first 2 1/2 to 3 miles and then began to loosen up. What’s pain! It was good company this morning, though.
I went back to the chiropractor (Dr. Crockett in Salem) this morning. It felt so much better after he was done again. I realized I need to stretch after every run (and after I warm up). I am horrible at doing this!!!
This morning into afternoon, I had 5 extra kids here (some overlapped each other). That is almost a daily routine here. I love it because it keeps my kids entertained!
I, then, headed off to cross country practice. We had the kids do a speed workout around a 1200 meter loop (equivalent to 3 laps around a track). We do great speed work outs there! They ran a 1200 at a little faster then their 5k race pace. With a 3 min recovery time. Then they ran half the loop at a fast pace! Their recovery was to jog the rest of the loop.
We (I mean they) ran 4 sets of this workout. They did a mile and a quarter warm up and a mile and a half cool down. They were beat! I do like it when they say I am mean and brutal!!!
After dinner, we had our family night (Z stayed on the couch with us…for some reason she didn’t want to get up and sing a song). 🙂
Z was finally answered back by the boy she asked to a ladies choice dance. She was so excited!!!
Once the girls were in bed, Z had homework and Corom and I and some friends went hot tubing. It felt great on the legs!
After much late night snacking, it is time for bed!!!
I met up with Amber this morning for a nice and easy shakeout run. We went on a 5 mile run in 40:53. My butt hurt really bad for the 1st little bit but the more I ran the better I felt. Who knows what’s going on. Oh well as long as it goes away while I’m running, I can live with that. Along the way we ran into some friends of ours a couple of times. (Tifany and Kelly…)
We all need to coordinate our schedules and run together! I felt great sleep wise this morning! Corom and I put the kids to bed at 7 last night and by 8 told Z good night and went to bed. I saw I had a text from someone at 8:10 and didn’t hear it so that means I was asleep by that time. It was great to sleep for 10 hours. After church we had our good friends Mary and Siri over for dinner. They are so great and we love being around them! Our neighbors then brought over some homemade bread… It was so professional looking.
We were on our way to church and had to STOP at the new stop light. That makes 2 stop lights for Salem! It’s getting crowded here… 🙂
We somehow managed to get up at 4:15 a.m. to make the drive home from Vegas. We wanted to make it back in time for our 1 pm church. We made good timing and arrived here at the house at 11. The girls had a lot of fun playing with our cousins this weekend.
They stayed at Dan and Ericka’s while raced and then Saturday night we all goofed off.
Lets just say… Corom and I were extremely tired this morning!
