Just a bit of Sharing
My preschool class is over-run with illness. Croup is going from child to child and even leaping into other classrooms. I actually think it started in another classroom. Three-year-olds don't share much, but they do share germs in abundance. So I've been feeling sickly since last week, especially Friday.
On to some running tidbits...
Last Wednesday, we did 400s at AHS. I did the first 4 at a very easy pace with Sarah. The 5th I ran fast as I chased a 4th grader trying to time him (yes, he beat me). I ran another 4 at my comfy pace again, but my heart rate was up from the fast one and just the reps. Erin was there, and as she started late, she talked me into running 2 more with her. That put me at running 11 400s, which is the most I've ever done in class. Gilbert wasn't writing down times, and I know if he had been, I would not have done 11. I would have run faster and maybe done 8. I actually enjoyed doing more even though I probably should have run a few of them faster. For me though, Gazelle class is a social activity. I get to talk to adults who are my friends (remember, I work with 3-year-olds). I think I'd probably always choose to run slower with a friend so I could chat.
Saturday I skipped the long run and slept in some. It was actually nice to get so much done in the morning when I'd normally be running and stretching (and I felt pretty horrible, too). Saturday was a full day with soccer, birthday party, and the UT/Rice game.
Sunday I ran with Yvette. The plan was 7, but I barely made 4 miles. I think I perhaps shouldn't have run, but that is what we do. We run when we are sick or injured for fear of losing it - losing that mileage or speed or spark.
So that brings us to today (Monday). I skipped hills b/c I still don't feel well. I have tons of homework due tomorrow and a test. It's also my darling husband's birthday tomorrow, and the poor lad will be spending it at work and at a Cub Scouts pack meeting. Everyone wish him a happy day if you think about it.
Goals this week: Get well, Survive Cub Scout camp-out this Saturday night
