I took the girls to school (it took me 25 minutes to find the house where joy school was at for my 4th child… Ahhhh). My friend needed help so I picked up her little girl and her and I went to my 91 year old neighbor’s house to visit. It was very nice (a little hot in her house but I guess I should have expected that).
Oh before school my oldest lost another tooth…
My 2nd child did her own hair (and it turned out lovely :)). She usually does her own, but today was one of those that I wanted to take a picture of it. I was going to ask her if she wanted me to fix it but I decided that she looked great and did a good job!
After I picked up the 3 girls (and 3 extra) we went to Rebecca Webb’s house for a play group. My youngest through a temper tantrum for so long. She told another little girl that Jesus doesn’t love her anymore… My youngest also went to time out many times:
Oh, what fun!
I got up at 4:45 a.m. and walked out my front door at 5 to 5. I went to lock my door and out of the corner of my eye I saw this…
It looked like a person with a whole lot of hair… I’m not going to lie, my stomach didn’t a little flip and it kind of freaked me out. Anyway I met up with Melissa and Scott at the track for their work out. These 2 have been so fun to work with! They have a desire and passion that most people wish they had. I meet up with them once a week for their speed days and help them out with a workout. It is amazing in the short time I have been meeting up with them how far along they have come (mentally and physically). And it is by no means from me… They are the ones that are working for it and they want it. You can make out 2 silhouettes in the dark on the track. :
After I went and met up with Rachelle, Amber and Julie for a 6.7 mile loop. We ran 2 mile warm up, then a 2x 1 mile tempo with a 2 minute break in between. (My 1st mile was 6:18 and the 2nd was 6:15… Wouldn’t that be awesome if I could hold that pace for the entire race.) I felt good and I think mentally it was nice knowing that it was not a lot of speed today. 🙂 That is the laziness coming out of me. After the tempo we finished off with a 2 mile cool down. Good times!!!
The kids went on a 6 to 8 1/2 mile moderate run after their warmups, agilities and core workout. They then returned to the school and did their 2 laps around the track barefoot cool down and strides. They did well today!
I met up with Mac, Aubrey, Amber, Beth and Trisha and we went on a 7 mile run. It took us 56:14.92. It was dark when we started and just as dark when we finished… It was a good run with good conversations!
This is how dark it looks for me because I always forget to grab my headlamp!
Today was a day where I didn’t take any pictures, I didn’t do any blogging (until now as I am in bed), and I didn’t do any form of exercise. But I did eat a lot!!! We went to church at 1 and we had our Primary program today. (The little kids did all the talking and singing in the main meeting.) The girls were cute and did a good job. My oldest looked like “cousin It” when it was her time to speak. Her hair is so curly that she hates when I put it back because it hurts her. Anyway, we enjoyed it! After church we went to our friends, the Fullmer’s house for dinner and then to our neighbor’s house, the Martins, for dessert. Both places were excellent! Now I am in bed, watching Modern Family with Corom. Good night… It will be an early morning…
