Yesterday I went for my first double digit run since the marathon. I ran a hot, sweaty, slow ten mile run from Iwo Jima out to near Belle Haven and back. I really hope my legs aren’t completely recovered, because the last five miles were darned hard. I have a spot behind one knee that announced its presence towards the end of the marathon and decided to give me a little trouble again yesterday. I’m not sure what it is and it feels more sore than actually painful, but I’ll definitely be watching it. Thankfully, a friend asked me to run with her, so the miles passed pretty quickly despite the heat, hills, and tired legs.
We’ve had a nice weekend so far, with some playdates, a birthday party, a cookout with friends, Rolling Thunder, and “How to Train Your Dragon” at the Cinema and Drafthouse. It’s summer here this weekend, so I’m sure there’ll be some playing in the sprinkler at some point today or tomorrow. I, on the other hand, really need to knock out a couple more miles today to hit my goal of 20 for the week. I’m dreading heading out in the 85+ degree weather. Bleh.
And now, the winners…
Shoo once again dressed for the occasion. Today he decided to get with the Memorial Day theme and dress in uniform.
He also chose a new vessel for the names – his knight helmet.
Winner #7 is
Winner #8 is
Fine print: Email me at mom2shoo at gmail.com within 48 hours. Check out the remaining items (the sunglasses, SPIbelt, socks, Bondi Band, nuun, and Mad Fox glass are gone) and let me know what you want. Three more winners will be announced in the next couple of days and then the final winner will be announced by the end of the week. And trust me, being winner #13 is not a bad thing. ;o)
Congrats winners!Shoo- great outfit choice!Have a great weekend!
HURRAH!!!! 🙂 I love the outfit!
I hope your knee feels better on your second run. Take it easy in the heat and enjoy the weekend!(btw, your son is super cute!)
I love that Shoo dresses up for this! Nice run. It has been quite hot outside!
It's so nice to have someone to slug out the miles with, especially in the heat.
It's a pity we can't just skip Summer altogether. I don't envy you you're 85+ days but I'm loving our cold mornings.
your little one is too cute!
I LOVE how your son dresses up and gets into these drawings! Congrats to the winners.Do you have a foam roller? I had a spot behind my knee that was bothering me and that helped a lot!
Yay! How cool! I'll shoot you an email.
Love shoo's outfit again! I felt nearly the same way about my 10 on sat. First 5 were good then not so much.
Congrats to the new winners! Pssst Shoo! What do I have to do to butter you up so you pick me?? Love the outfit as usual!
Congrats to the winners:) It has been fun watching the names being picked by your little studs! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Lucky winners! I hope your knee thing goes away!
I can't even think of doing double digits right now – great work!
I went for my first 10 miler as well and ALSO kept thinking, 'how can I be in such bad shape?!' I swear the last mile was as hard as the last mile of the marathon. Sheesh!
Wow!! Good job on the ten miles! Glad you had a nice weekend : )
