Weekday Run

What?!?! A second blog entry for the day?!?! Eh, who cares.

Another lunchtime run with Tim. This time, I decided to push it a little bit and see what he could handle. Whoops! I shouldn't have done that, and now I feel bad for him. He pooped out around 3 miles and we ended up walking quite a bit. We started back up again a few times, but we walked more than I would have liked. In the end though we were only a few minutes slower than the last time around.

To his credit, he didn't stop to walk until after 5k.



Splits
Mile 1: 8:46.45
Mile 2: 9:36.43
Mile 3: 10:08.18
Mile 4: 13:46.72
Mile 5: 14:40.87
.34 mi: 6:00.28



5.34 miles, 1:02:59, 618 calories burned, 11:47/mi average pace.

Long run in the morning! 14 miles, my goal is to run about 9:30/mi the first half, 9:00/mi the second half.

Halloween 2008

It's a little late, I know. With my computer virtually unusable, I had to find the time at work to upload the pictures.

It was tough getting the kids to stay still long enough to take their pictures. No real trick or treating this year, I got home later than I expected to, so we just took them to the mall, then to Grandma's house. They still had a good time.


Grandma loved spending time with the kids on Halloween. She said there weren't many kids who came over for some reason.


Gregory's school had a little Halloween festival during the day, so they were able to paint his face up. He loved being Spider-Man. BTW, Gregory is 6 now.


Jenny's 4, and was dressed up as a princess. Of course.


Joy's 3, and dressed up as Thomas the Tank Engine. She's really into Thomas, which is nice, because Gregory isn't anymore. So she inherited most of his Thomas stuff.


They all went right to bed the minute we got home. Gregory insisted on sleeping with his makeup on, so most of it wore off on the pillow by the next morning. I didn't see him until I got back from my run, after which I was soaking wet. I told them it was my own Halloween costume.

I hope all of you had a Happy Halloween!
