Runners

Spence off to daycare today. It is quite cold today, 6 degrees C earlier and only about 8 now! As part of Kaz's running program, she had to do a 40 minute run today. She asked if I wanted to come but I said I didn't because it was too cold! Alright, I was being soft!! I thought about what to have for lunch then felt bad about not going with Kaz so I quickly changed into my running gear and went out the door after her! I thought about 5 minutes had passed so I could catch up to her in 40 minutes surely! I took of at high speed!

I finally caught up to her about 14 minutes in for me, she had turned around already and was on her way back. She had been running for nearly 20 minutes and I had been going for 14! I had clearly gone out too hard at the start trying to catch her because my chest was about to explode (the freezing cold and the wind had something to do with that too!) and my calves were on fire! We ran the rest of Kaz's 40 minutes and now I am feeling it! It was about 5.2km that I ran but my body wasn't ready for the pace I started out with!

It is raining now and I am trying to sort through all the photos we have of Spencer (so, so many!!) to select some to make a Blurb book for each year of his life (luckily he is only 2!!) It will take some sorting!

These are mine and Kaz's runners by the back door after we had finished our run. Kaz's are the new light blue ones!
