Week # 9

Sorry I have not posted in 2 weeks or so because I have been super busy with my children, gigs and training. Zach started high school this week and it has been interesting to see him start a new chapter in his life. He is growing up so fast, it is incredible how it just seems like yesterday he was in the first grade. I have been really busy helping him get ready and busing him around to all his golf practices. Ethan is also starting preschool 2 days a week, so that will give me some alone time with Carter and it will be good for Ethan too.

Running has been good. I had a lot of fun with it this week. I have been mixing things up a bit and taking runs in some different parks around town. The kids have really enjoyed the new scenery, seeing some deer and going to new playgrounds. I have enjoyed more challenging hills than usual plus I huffed and puffed a bit more this past 10 days. Last Saturday I ran 13 miles again. I was only gonna run 12 but I was feeling great and decided to go a bit farther. It was a great run, I was really enjoying myself. I planned my route different this time and made sure to run past many options for restroom stops, which I totally needed! I am finally getting the hang of the really long runs. The heat wasn't too bad because I left really early in the morning. My other runs have been good with the kids and cross training has been just ok. Lifting weights and kickboxing are not my favorite but I grudgingly do it anyway.

So that is pretty much it, I don't have any funny stories to share this week. This weekend I plan to run 14 miles on my long run so wish me luck!

Thanks for reading and happy running!
