Multi-state Relay Blog Update

Since my family has started the multi-state blog, I haven't written here much. We are recording notes to each other at: http://multi-statefitness.blogspot.com/. Be sure that I am recording my Garmin times in my manual running log. I do get out everyday for at least a mile, but average 2 miles, with at least two days a week being 3+ miles.

I am excited about my real 5K coming up. The 5K's I've done were real, but run by my running club. This is the first time that I am not going to know the group going.

A thought that I had yesterday - my son is playing soccer. Yesterday was the first game. They were selling t-shirts in blue, yellow and pink. The pink shirts didn't come in larger than size L. The yellows went to XL, but the dark blue when to XXL. So - no fat girls in pink. I prefer the dark blue, but as I am losing weight I am thinking that I want to wear more pink. :-) Got to get to the size though.

This past week I didn't put in as many miles. I had hurt my foot on a peice of furniture, so it was tender to wear my sneakers. But, I did a lot of cross training that didn't get counted. I have played A LOT of tag and soccer kicking. But that soccer kicking with my six year old is not just passing to and fro. It is me kick to him, then he kicks it as hard as possible and I have to chase it down the road. Great. Lots of extra running. But, I can do it now, and not get winded.

Ok, enough random thoughts. We're traveling this week, so lots of car sitting, but then we go out with the dog.

Random thoughts are fun! :) Sorry you hurt your foot, hope it feels better. And that's totally not fair about the t-shirts. Anyway, here's wishing you a pink t-shirt in the future!!

You have to admit that it sure is fun being able to play with your chld in the yard and just not being totally winded almost instantly. It's just a good "parenting" feeling. It kind of gives you a warm fuzzy feeling. I can tell the difference when I haven't exercised in a month and I have gotten out of shape.

That's one of my motivations: to be able to play "pass and kick" with TK. You are already doing it. I do wish, though, that he had taken up baseball pitching, or maybe croquet...less chasing the ball. Ha.
