Yup, she went with me! At 5 AM.
Woke her up at 5 and not a murmur of 'let me sleep some more'
Did 2 miles in 38 min. Which was a nice regular pace for me to recover from yesterdays 9miles and her from yesterdays soccer practice where they did plyometric drills.
Wht do u talk with a 13yo- undivided attention for 38 min, no phones, t.v, computer chatting, i-pod or plain sulkiness. We talked about her friends, ssome tentative plans for a surprise party for a couple who are moving away, and I gave my lecture on diet and exercise-- Do as I say, not as I do.
Again, beautiful morning, and I again wonder how I can get out of the habit of exercising in the mornings. But felt very sleepy the whole day today because havent slept well for the past 2 nights- unknown reasons.
Amazing tho, how this 2m route, which is a recovery walk for me now, used to be my regular workout and I would as if I had done something so big by completing it. The theory of relativity comes into play.
Yesterday I was reading a blog by someone who is running with the TNT-Team in training. So I was wondering why GB and I never thought of joining a team for our LSD and general runs.
I feel I just am not ready for the commitment it calls for. Here I can start at any time of the day, either day of the weekend, and dont have to drive someplace for the LSD.
OTOH, the extra motivation and inspiration from a team must help.
Maybe for my second marathon!! I will attend some running clinics.
This time its GB and NB only, tho again GB seems to be a bit lost, maybe she'll be back by the time I am back from my vacation.
I will get our hosts address today and plan some run/walks on mapmyrun. Maybe my DH will join me. Maybe I'll have access to a computer to blog sometimes.
Will try to do my 30 min speed session before I leave tomorrow.
