I got up earlier today. Both Michael and Genna said they wanted to run this morning so we had to get out there and back before Richard left for work.
Michael bailed on us. He said his teeth hurt too much. Uh huh. In his defense, he had an orthodontist appointment yesterday. They added elastic bands that run from his top teeth to his bottom ones. Like that's going to help his mumbling one bit! I asked for extras in case I needed to keep him quiet for a while.
So, Genna and I ran 90 seconds and walked 2 minutes for ten reps. I had hoped it would be easy after my long run from Saturday. i suppose it might have been even harder, but it was certainly was not easy. The only satisfaction I have is that I should not have to deal with the lactic acid burn this week like i did last week. I hate that.
Yesterday Genna's scout troop was recognized by the School Board for their contribution to the school community by cleaning up the litter in the school yard this spring. They were asked to lead the Pledge of Allegiance and my co-Leader read the board's Creed. We hung around for the rest of the meeting so the girls could get an idea of what the board does. We heard about stimulus money, middle school sports and the flu. At least the girls had an idea of what those topics were.
I hereby promise to get up early on Thursday morning and run, whether my kids join me or not!
