Today's run with The Runs just may have been even better than soccer or just as fun. Paul set up an orienteering course for us and my awesome map reading partner was Marc! Once we figured out the map (which was not accurate) we motored along and came in second place. First place winners were Fawn and Julia so even though I hate to lose I didn't mind coming in second to them. So I guess running can be fun especially when there are prizes at the end of it. Thanks Paul and Don for organizing this. Great way to start the morning with The Runs :)

Nice cool night for a run with The Runs until Grace got the runs, lol! Had to change course and head to McDonalds for a bathroom but she made it in the end. Should have picked up a nice ice cold pop to enjoy on the way back but that would be mean to the pop addict in our group. I always like to put others before myself :)

Just under 1k in the pool. Girls wanted to play so we got a ball and played in the deep end catch so we were treading water for 10 minutes. Then they entertained me with some jumps off the diving board.

Did some more hill training. First timed one was 3:27 and second one was 2:55 but then they started to get longer by about 5 to 10 seconds. Tried to save some energy near the top so I could run faster which I did but it nearly killed me each time. Running into the wind which didn't help, just once I would like the wind on my back for a change.
