Third Time's a Charm!

Today we almost didn't run. We got up early, ate a good breakfast (oatmeal and a banana with a BIG glass of water). After checking our e-mail and playing around on the computer, I mapped an awesome 6 mile course on mapmyrun.com. We got dressed and then it all went down hill.

While I was finishing up getting ready, Jason sat on the bed and started petting Sadie and Jovie. That made me want to pet the puppies also. So after about 20 minutes, it was clear that we were not going to be running anytime soon.

So, we decided to run before church (7pm mass) and took off on a vintage shopping spree. Well after a late lunch, we decided it would not be good to run before mass (plus we didn't want to) so we cleaned the house and redecorated the dining room.

Finally, at 8:30, we didn't have any more excuses. We took off on our 6 mile run, which was actually very enjoyable. Who'd have thought. Since it was such a nice night, we decided to take a dip in the pool afterward to cool off and now I think we are off to bed.

We ran 6.00 miles in 52 minutes and 46.78 seconds. Not bad for a couple of lazy runners! I'm really glad we ended up running. Have a great week everyone!
