It's Mother's Day... a day to run just like every other day. When I finished running today, I came home to find my kids had made me breakfast. They cut up a banana, some strawberries and made toast with jam with we love you on it, then baked orange sweet rolls. It was delicious.
The kids even ran this morning. Good to see I'm having some positive effects on my own kids. They want to run and be healthy too. Their goal is to run a mile every day for a week, the next week do 2 and so on until they can run 4 miles with me. Nice to know I'll have 2 more runners in the family to keep me company on my run.
This morning I wanted to run the race route in Rosmount. Steve biked and I ran. I started off slow because the first section is up hill. Not an easy way to start a race but a good way to spread out the runners. I picked up the pace or tried to and finished in just under 34 minutes for 4miles. So that's a 8min,30 sec minute mile... I was hoping for a better time, but that's okay.. something to work on.
I've been trying to decide if I want to run the mile first then run the 4 mile race? I know the mile run will help warm me up for the 4 mile, but I want to be well rested for the 4 mile race. Not sure what to do, but I know I should do both. We will see how I feel race day.. Some time in July.
Steve didn't want to run today so we drove home from the Rosmount route and I ran our 4 mile route. I did that slow and took my time enjoying the run, the morning, sunshine and the start of summer. I finished that in 39 minutes.. a slow almost 10 minute mile... felt great and I could have kept going...
Off to get in more exercise.. mow the lawn.. clean the house and then take a nap and maybe go for a bike ride later on. .... a great Mother's Day!!
