Off to Boot Camp

My computer parts are in, so now it will be the weekend of computer repair. Jen is traveling down to Florida with Stacie, one of her consultants for a Mary Kay Boot Camp with her national sales director, Sylvia.She should be down and back before Ivan can rampage through the state of Florida. This leaves the boys to rule the household over the weekend. Not exactly sure what mischief we will get into, but with Eric, you never know.

I am going to volunteer at the Sept 11th memorial race tomorrow morning. I’m going to be calling mile splits from what I understand. This will be my first volunteering job, so I will be seeing the world from a different view being on the volunteer side. Plus, if you work 3 races you get enough vouchers to run a local race for free, so it all works out.

Last night, I ran some speed work called Yassos. I am pretty tired today, but I’m going to not run today and run some tomorrow. I just don’t know when because I will have Eric, might have to be on the treadmill. Oh yucky, that means that I will only get in 4 or 5 at the most. At least there will be football!!!!


Marathon Training Week One

My first official week (actually 11 days) went really well. So far I am well under my scheduled training mileage as I missed my first 12 mile run and then had to be on the road for work. Nonetheless, I did get an excellent Interval run (fartlek for you fellow runners) on the treadmill while I was in Columbia, Mo. So for Week One tally up 13.2 miles, which is 21.8 miles below of what I had scheduled! Yikes.

Bernie, Elba, Tita Angie, Victoria and Brian visited us this past weekend and we had lots of fun. I think Jen and Victoria had the most fun since they shopped for hours and hours. Skip was pretty happy because of all the attention he received, it was the “never ending fetch day”. We’ll be going to Loris this weekend for Will’s first birthday, which means we will return with pictures and be able to show everyone how grown he is.
