Easy run. Average pace - 10:50.

I was going to let my self sleep in a little today because the kids don't have school (professional development day for teachers) and so I wouldn't have to drive my son to seminary or spend time getting kids ready for school. So I set my alarm for 5:30 instead of 5:00, but then I let myself sleep in even more by hitting the snooze alarm a couple of times.

I got up and did the shred level 1 with 5 lb. weights and while I was doing it I remembered that I hadn't made my husband a lunch last night. So after I finished the shred, I made his lunch, and then I got dressed and went for my run. I tried to take it slow and easy since I went faster yesterday and I've got a long run tomorrow. I took the route that I intended to take yesterday but messed up yesterday.

I think I'll do the same 10 mile route tomorrow that I did last Saturday, except I'm going to do it early in the morning instead of at noon and I'm going to try to take it slower than I did last Saturday.

Night Sleep Time: 7.00	Nap Time: 0.00	Total Sleep Time: 7.00

Good job on your run today. I am amazed that you can train consistently and maintain 4 kids and hubby. You must have incredible organizational skills. Could you email some of those over here to me? :-)

Deborah,

Organizational skills, smorgazational skills. You haven't seen my house. It's a disaster. I can keep certain things going if I make them a priority and many other things get neglected. I'm probably paying too much attention to my running right now to the deteriment of some other things. Also, three of my four kids are old enough to be fairly self-sufficient and to help with the little one.
