Whew! 

What a week that was…

I feel as if I have not stopped once to relax and breathe and based on what I’m reading out there I’m not the only one who feels that way.   Kalli is on her last week of school now heading into Summer vacation, and I’m oh so jealous!!! 

My little lump o’love is on her last week of school too and it makes me a little sad because I had been looking forward to spending Summer vacation at home with her, something I had never done.  But then I went back to work and while I’m grateful for my job, I’m just a little envious of the time I wont have at home…

Cindy and I apparently share more than a brain… we also seem to have a “Crazy maker” haunting us too…  that alone is enough to wear a girl out.

Thank God for running to help keep us SANE!

Thursday night our running group participated in a 5 mile Trail Race, it’s the 1st in the Summer Series of 3.  We ran the entire loop which I had not done since last Summer and man oh man, those hills were everything I remembered them to be…

BIG!

I did not run with my camera because I was really hoping to RACE this and beat last years time and I have a tendency to stop and play photographer when I have my camera.  I do have pictures of last year though and I’m not sure they do these hills justice.

This picture was taken from about 1/2 the way up the hill.

My calves started talking to me last night and today they are definitely reminding me of what I did 2 nights ago…  feels SO awesome!!

We went into the race with a strategy to climb walk the steep hills and run the rest and that seemed to work perfectly.  I finished in 58:04,  not bad considering last years time was around 1:04.   We had perfect June Gloom running weather for our evening run but I’m a bit scared of what July’s race weather will be like.

I’m off to enjoy my Saturday… Have a great weekend everyone!!!
