We sent the team on a easy recovery run (conversational pace :)). They ran about 6 miles. They “accidentally” cut the route short but it was OK. The weather was perfect with it being a little overcast. They were sore from yesterday.
All my girls were in school today! I had an hour an a half to myself… This is a little weird. This was my 4th daughter’s 2nd week in Joy School but it wasn’t at my house…
Rebecca Carter (Clarion Manor) and I went out for a late breakfast at Magleby’s and talked. It was very pleasant! My house is still a mess from this morning but oh well… 🙂
Nothing to exciting this morning… I ran for 52 min at a steady easy pace on the treadmill. Yep, Corom is still gone. The girls were good this morning that I was able to run the entire time without having to get off (I told them that if they could hurry and get ready-dressed, eat, teeth brushed, hair done, shoes on, etc. then they could watch TV before school. I have never seen a more productive morning!) It was a good run.
35 kids running around… Need I say more. 🙂 For my 2nd daughter, we threw her a birthday party. (I didn’t want any kids to feel left out so I invited her entire kindergarten class, her church class and her neighbors that are her age.) Crazy, I know, especially without Corom here to help. But… I did have lots of help!!! Ingrid and Michelle came to my rescue…
Then my sister, Missy and my friend Camille…
The last 40 min of the party a friend of mine back from my home town in California came with all these wild animals. (I mentioned them before. Wild Wonders.) He did a 40 min show for us. The kids loved it!!! He brought a skunk, Coco the parrot, 2 bearded dragons, a 80 pound tortuous with her baby, a hedgehog, and something else but I forgot what it was called. 🙂 The kids were so entertained!
A lot of the high school kids have been asking us for the past few weeks if and when they can run bleachers… I don’t know why they like them but for some reason they do. So their workout today had to do with bleachers. It is a tough work out (so I don’t think they will be asking for that again). You run 20 min straight with 1 lap hard and the 2nd lap you add the bleachers and then you repeat that for 20 min. They took a 5 min break and then went for another 20 min. (They did a warm up and cool down.) Fun stuff!!!
