Nothing like a nice little 10k to get your week started off!! I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning but made it up and out to meet Heidi W for a little jaunt! We ran New Leaf today which is a good mix of flat and up hill!! Looking forward to this week's running and getting some good miles in before Boston. 3 weeks from today!! It's a bit surreal to think about and to be right honest, is freaking me out!! I am not ready!!

PM: So my cute little Evan has eagerly signed himself up for the 300 and 400 meter races for his first ever Track Meet to come in May and therefore, wanted to go to the track tonight to start training. Tyler of course embraced it as an opportunity for FHE tying in the whole Physical Fitness perspective, etc. So, as a family, we headed down to the High School tonight to run and exercise as a family. I took scooters for my younger boys (which they loved by the way. Tracks are fun to ride around but the ramps going up and down to the bleechers are even funner), and then Tyler and I ran with Evan. Tyler mostly worked with him on breathing, form, etc. while I just ran around watching it all, etc. I was so darn proud of my little guy. His first 400 meters he ran at a 8:00 pace, then took it down to a 7:29 and by the last lap, he was down to a 6:30ish pace. I actually tried to race him and couldn't keep up! Must take after his daddy!! I hope that we keep it up and have him all trained come the track meet!!! I ended up running 3 miles at the track and then decided to run home to get in a couple of extra miles. As I got closer to home I realized I was only at about 4.8 and that if I were to go 5.8, it would round out my mileage for the day. However, of course then I got to 5.8 and of course had to just round it up to 6.0. So the mileage doesn't make a lot of sense today but..............at least it was some good mileage!!
