B-o-r-i-n-g Blog, I apologize
Lego Star Wars is taking over my house. I didn't cave and buy a game system, but Joshua did get the PC games of Lego Star Wars I and II.
13 mile long run on Saturday. Gayatri and I ran slow and enjoyed the first part of the run. We stayed on the trail for all 13 as the other options I came up with just weren't tantalizing enough. Funny since the trail can be such a snooze-fest at times. The hardest part for both of us was repeating a loop we'd just done.
We did the 10-mile loop backwards and turned across the Pfluger pedestrian bridge 9.5 miles in to repeat the Lamar-Mopac loop. It was late in our run, we were tired, and my feet were starting to really hurt. Our legs were achy, and we just needed to get past the Mopac bridge again to feel like we were getting close to finishing.
I guess I need new socks. My thicker running socks curl under my toes and rub blisters. My thinner running socks rubbed the balls of my feet to a red pallet of pain. Neither of these things happens on shorter runs - runs 7 miles or shorter. So, if you have an amazing pair of Wonder Socks, lemme know.
Bobo, Joshua's pet praying mantis, laid yet another egg sack. That makes 3 egg sacks for her. I was sure she was about to die, but that chicken dinner did the trick. David found a grasshopper the loveliest shade of green for her meal yesterday. It was a fairly large 'hopper, too. We felt some guilt pangs feeding it to a mantis that is going to die soon, but as David said, "It's a bug-eat-bug world."
