Sitting here in a quiet house with the dog at my feet and coffee cup in hand…
There has been at least one, if not both, boys home sick since Tuesday! I was happy to see both smiling faces heading off to camp this morning – I swear there’s nothing worst than seeing your children not feel well 🙁
Between the sick kids and my cranky left hip, running has been a bit challenging this week. I am trying very hard to not get hung up in the miles I’ve missed, knowing that the cross-training will help and getting this hip happy is priority one!
Changes in family plans means I’ve needed to change up my fall racing schedule – I won’t be running ZOOMA in September so I’ve been on the hunt for another race to use as a “tune up” before I get to the B.A.A. Half in October. Though I think I’ve now found the source of my recent GI issues, Coach Bennett thinks it will be helpful to put my body through “race conditions” and see how I respond. So I think I’ll be adding this to my schedule:
It’s run on a beautiful course through Salem & Marblehead – Can. Not. Wait!
Seriously, how is it Friday again already? I feel like I just finished coming down from last weekend’s birthday fun and here we are again. Don’t get me wrong – I love seeing Friday arrive, but this summer is flying by way too fast! We still have a number of things left on our family summer bucket list!
We’ll get one more item checked off tomorrow as we’ll be catching a Boston Cannons’ game! My hubs J was elected to his lacrosse league’s all-star game (so proud of him!) and they’ll be playing their game before the Cannons. So the boys and I are going to go cheer on our All-Star and then we’re all hanging out for the Cannons’ game afterwards!
How are you doing with your Summer Bucket list?
Do you run tune-up races?
Bummer about your hip & sick kids 🙁 I’ve heard great things about the Wicked Half…is Black Cat run on the same course pretty much? I’ve done the 10 miler twice now.
Have fun at the game!
So true…the summer is flying by! I haven’t made it to the beach or the amusement park yet this summer, but it looks like only Six Flags will end up happening. I’ve never run a tune-up race….I’m hoping to use an upcoming 5K as a tuneup for a 10K in October. I hope yours goes well and your hip feels better!
Glad your kids are feeling better! I hope your hip feels better soon too! The Wicked Half Marathon sounds super fun!!! Have a great weekend!
