Short and Not So Sweet Weekend Report


Running was just not in the cards this weekend. I was hemming and hawing about the Coventry 4 mile Race on Saturday but after hearing about the 2 hills on the course I decided I wasn't up for pushing the jog stroller. So, I opted to go to Foster's Farm and enjoy a corn maze and hay ride with some army friends. It was a beautiful day for it and Maggie picked out the perfect little pumpkin for herself. On Sunday, I went to visit my neice and brought my running stuff with me so that after the visit I could push Maggie on the airline trails that are groomed well out by SIL's house. Hmmm, too bad I forgot the stroller!! Oh well, I'll go when I get home. At this point Little Miss has no interest in the jog stroller and tells me to "find a babysitter". So, I phone the usual suspects and to my disappointment no one was around. So, I hit a bump in my training plan and will have to pick up with my schedule again tomorrow. I don't think it will have an impact on my marathon training as I'm still about 15 weeks out and I think I'm ready for the Hartford 1/2 this weekend even missing this long run. Next time I will follow the 5 P's and be better prepared- PRIOR PLANNING PREVENTS POOR PREFORMANCE. Hope everyone else enjoyed running this weekend!

Those pictures are so cute–they should be the on the cover of a Family Fun type magazine. I’m looking forward to Friday–maybe even more than Saturday. Haha! I know you will do great. Are you still planning on running with Terri on race day?
Cute as a bug! Mine were off picking apples this weekend while I drilled; color me jealous.
The half will go great! Best of luck

Quick comment...I found your blog via Dianna. My son just returned from Iraq in early August. He's a medic with the 2nd Infantry. His wife and twin sons were sure glad to have him home. As was my wife and I. All the best to you as you count down the days to your husband's return. I'm with you!!
