Saturday I had 7 miles am and 5 miles pm
On the training schedule... I got up before Mark went off to work to get it done. I've been putting it off til Sunday's but I didn't want to last Saturday because I was working the night shift at the hospital on Sunday night and knew it'd b too much with laundry and life with 2 kidos and 49ers football, which meant gettin on up before I wanted to on Saturday morning~ ah the life of a runner:) more on this in a bit! Made some baked chocolate oatmeal the night before so i got up and threw it in the oven while I dressed and brushed my teeth(who can run with poo breath lol) it was so good but I could only eat half, I put chia seeds in it and man was it filling so, I saved the other half for post run it was perfect thing to do. All of this took too long and I didn't get out the door til 620 had to be back @705 so mark could leave for work. I was trucking along knowing I couldn't finish 7 miles I thought I'll do what I can and do the rest on the treadmill so I got 4 done and headed in to do the rest watching biggest loser on Netflix. That's show always inspires me. The weather was wonderful by the way Texas cold front woohoo ONLY got up to 90 lol but hey I will take it!
Then I showered and the kids and I went to run some errands. Football/cheer pictures were on our agenda for 3 so we were going to go see Madagascar at the dollar move but then I got a text that no the picture people would b leaving at 1230 (it was 1140) so I told the kids hmm-well I guess we won't get pics this year and Ty was like no mom I want that picture we can make it! So we ran home they got dressed in all their stuff and we rushed over to the field.... Where they were taking down the tent and backdrops!!! So aggravating! The lady was rude on top of that but anyway I'll still get their pics they picture ppl
Are coming back for our team since it was so I'll planned or well not planned! So we went home and waited for game time and I took a much needed nap. Mark got home & we headed to the game with his brother and his wife and my mom and step dad. I was so excited! Which was quickly deflated as well because they hardly played Ty! And they sent him out onto the field twice only to send him back out and I being his mom could tell he was beyond upset so I was upset too. As the game went on he got to play s little and the time he was in he did great he ran the fastest I've seen him run and tried his little heart out! His team lost :( but he kept a good attitude about he whole thing which made me really proud of him:). Kylie did really good cheering. She got mad because we weren't giving her enuf attention a couple times but she got over it and cheered better than she has before:) it was great!
We headed for Denny's~ one of Ty's fav places~ he says they have the best eggs!(I've been trying to perfect MY eggs to look like theirs lol he still says no mom they don't look like that!) we ate n left got home after 8 and I still had to run the last 5 miles...
This is where my eff it usually comes in to play but I got out the stuff I ordered for my relay~ reflective vest, blinky light, water bottle, and headlamp -put it all on after i figured it out-felt ridiculous with that headlight lol so I didn't wear it but after I got out in the darkness I wished I'd had it that's for sure! Had to use the handy dandy flashlight on my phone a couple times because it was so dang dark I was afraid I'd twist my ankle or something since I couldn't see where I was running. Got it done-awesome! I'm so glad I didn't say screw it! So then Sunday is supposed to be a rest day but the day after I do this split long run I like to run that morning to simulate the relay I'll be running so I headed back out Sunday bout 1, after making breakfast, going to the store,the donut shop(not for me), doing laundry- I finally got out in the beating sun to do another 5 miles~ got it done and it felt great that I didn't cut short or not do these runs! Having a team depending on my running is just the fuel I need for my runnin fire! Going to have to sign up for something else after this to keep going. I feel like I'm getting somewhere like I'm a real live runner and I love love love it:)
