Back to Life
I'm back in the saddle so to speak. Things are slowly but surely finding their new " normal" and hubby is settling in nicely. Hubby came home for good on Tuesday afternoon. The week has been filled with lots of family time! It has been nice doing a whole lot of nothing but snuggling on the couch with my hubby and daughter watching Dora and Blues Clues for the 100x. Ok, I could do without Noggin but I do love the snuggles. Thurs and Fri I pushed myself out the door while hubby took shmagela to school and I had great runs both days.
Thurs was unmeasured but I think it turned out to be about 3.8 miles. I found a wallet while I was running and the time flew by as I imagined being Poppy Montgomery from Without a Trace trying to track down the poor guy that lost his wallet. It was fun to break into fantasy and take a break from my life which feels like a primetime drama itself lately.
Friday, I set the timer on my watch to run out and back. I had limited time because I was babysitting for my 7 week old niece. I hit the 2 mile marker and my timer still hadn't gone off so I decided to turn around and reset for 17 min. I made it back to my car and again had time to spare! It was a great run. The weather was a little brisk so maybe I was running fast to get back to the warmth of the wood stove or maybe I'm feeling so high on life this week that I had extra in the tanks to push a quick tempo run. Regardless the reason I felt light and fast.
Saturday, I met up with the Running Chicks and we went our for 10 miles. I had 13 on the schedule but seeing as I've skipped the last 2 long runs I decided to do a little flip flopping. It was a great run being with the girls. No stress finding a sitter for mags and the rain held off- WOOHOO!! The rest of the day was spent on
a hayride and pumpkin picking and we wrapped up the night with a date. Today, I will rest and smile because I am blessed to have my family together again!

What a great picture at the pumpkin patch! And how gratifying to have a fast run like you did and be able to go home to a full house of loved ones.

Welcome home, John! Hopefully I'll see you guys at a race soon or at the playground. The only thing is that I think you will beat me now Michelle. Boohoo, I'll have to work for third in the 30s, if the cool running chicks go to the same races that I do!
