Just a Little Further

That is my mantra as I'm running.... just a little further! So far it's been working! I was able to run 20 miles again this week. We started Monday off running after Brinci went to school. Toby decided he doesn't mind when I run with him awake cuz I usually let him watch a show while I shower! Anyway, I ran 5 miles, just easy. On Wednesday a miracle happened and I actually woke up early and ran. I decided to do a hill workout so I threw in a few hills. As I was finishing my last hill push, Toby came downstairs with an emergency. I had to stop running and help him. I was able to get back on before I had to wake up the other kids and finished with 7 miles. Then on Friday Bruce cancelled on me so I decided to go a little longer than I had thought at first. I did a 4 mile steady state run which felt great! my warm up and cool down was also 4 miles so I ended my running week with 8 miles!
This has nothing to do with running but I want to share. I went to Time Out For Women in Ogden this weekend and had a blast with my Kunz family. There were a lot of good talks and a lot of crying, but all in all it was a good time. We were eating dinner and I get a text from my babysitter saying "PLEASE CALL!!!" I called and found out that Gage had decided to try to be superman and jumped off a table. Well, 4 hours and 5 stiches later, I saw my poor little guy! He bit clear through his bottom lip. Had to get 3 stiches on the inside and two on the outside. His lip is so swollen but he's so proud of his stiches!! He tells whoever will listen that he didn't even cry and he has stiches! What a stinker.
Good luck in all your training. Happy Running!
