A RUN DOWN MEMORY LANE

My brother, Doug, and I ran up the familiar Wing Lake Road to Echo to the back side of Andover High School's baseball fields. Most of my 16 siblings ran track and/or cross country at Andover. This is a beautiful course on historic dirt roads that was a regular route in high school. Doug is 11 years older than me. We both ran this course during different eras. I enjoyed running it with him today and reminiscing our own experiences and memories on the course.

Doug and I decided to go inside the gym and take a look at the record board. Some of my other siblings have since been bumped off the board. My 5k PR of 20:12 was still up there. I could have sworn it was 20:04. (Isn't if funny that I can remember some of my PRs from YEARS ago? It's like remembering a birthdate or something). Only two more places until I'm bumped off the board also. Funny! Doug wondered why his 5k time (16:20) was not up on the board. Oh well. Another brother, Mike, still holds the record for the 5k (15:43) and some relay records.

All 17 of us graduated from this high school. That is a record that should be up on the record board!

You have to multi-task when you are literally a mom on the run. It cracked me up that Aubree was taking calls about selling her car on Craigslist while pushing a stroller and running up the repeat hills! I took a turn with the stroller up the hill and it was painful. I think I would rather run at 4am or in the hottest part of the day. I need to rethink the stroller pushing goal.

Also, I always stay up late trying to get "caught up" on all of my many tasks. I think if I start tracking my sleep though, it may motivate me to get to bed early.

CREEKY KNEES

I was reminded of my grandpa when I started the run this morning. He would always give himself a pep talk when getting out of his lazy boy chair saying something like..."come on old man, you can do it"... "come on knees" ... while huffing and puffing. After an exerted effort, he would somehow get out of that chair. I felt the same way this morning during a tempo run. My pep talk went something like this: "Come on knees, come on hips, loosen up. You can do it. Warm up legs." I then imagined myself as the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz getting oiled up. The positive self talk I learned from my grandpa really helps. I felt strong and loose after about 1 mile.

4.3 miles ave 8:07 pace.

This workout was supposed to be 6 miles. We had scheduling conflicts and only had time for 3.5 at the track. I'm not sure exactly what my average pace was because neither Aubree nor I wore a watch. Although it was not the workout I planned, I guess making any effort to run today was "better 'N nuttin."

I missed my long run today! I wasn't able to coordinate babysitting. Hopefully I can make it up next week.
