- I just ran 7.4 miles in my VFFs! Longest run to date.
- I have a dumb phone and texting is difficult. However, I am currently texting Emz during her 24 mile run. ‘Cause what’s a little texting difficulty compared to 24 hours on a treadmill? I’m thinking the 3 hour time difference will work in my favor when I get up at 6 to give her some more text love during the last few hours of her run. Don’t know what I’m talkin’ about? Go over to RunEmz for details and donate while you are at it.
- Conversation with Shoo last night –
S: Mom, did they shoot off fireworks when I was born?
Me: No.
S: Well, why not?
- Tomorrow I get to meet up with Barefoot AngieB and Miss Zippy in DC. Trying to decide if we’ll go for a barefoot/minimalist run or go for a drink. Maybe both!
- My Vibrams smell so bad I need to keep them outside. I guess it’s time for a soak in the efferdent. I always wanted minty fresh feet!
- I wear the VFF sprints, which is a mary jane style. I keep forgetting to put sunblock on my feet. I have wicked tan lines already and I’m sure there’s a nasty sunburn in my future.
- I am currently coaching a client to her first marathon (NYC) and I’ve been approached by another first timer about training for MCM. It’s incredibly hard not to get caught up in the excitement and want to run one myself. I think I may just end up really well trained for my half in November.
- Tomorrow I’m going for a meeting to learn about being a Lead Volunteer for the NoVa Girls on the Run race next weekend. Are you local and want to volunteer? Email me at mom2shoo at gmail.com or leave me your email in a comment and I can hook you up.
- Tomorrow Jones has a soccer game and two birthday parties. It scares me to think about what my life will be like next year when Shoo starts playing. I’m going to do nothing but drive people around!
- I’m so glad it’s Friday. I need a beer. Mad Fox, here I come…
Congrats on your 7 miles in the Vibrams! I've been toying with the idea! I definitely saw lots of people running the Eugene marathon in them last weekend.Hope that new fridge is worth it! 🙂 Have a great weekend. GO EMZ!!!
Now, get those Vibrams off and do 7 bare foot! Definitely run and drink with your fellow bloggers. It's only right. Cheers!
7 miles in the VFFs is awesome! You really are making it happen. So cool.I can't wait for tomorrow–I wish I could do the run portion by my feet won't cooperate for that. Beer, though, yes, I can do that!
Happy Friday!Go EMZ Go! Amazing.have fun at Angie & MissZippy tomorrow!
I feel your pain on weekend activities. I have 4 kiddos, 3 that do sports and we spend a lot of time in the car. it is enough to make you crazy.that is so awesome about your vibrams. that is great. my friend is doing the same thing and she made it to 5 miles the other day. she said that it has made a huge difference in her running.have fun tomorrow:)
Your kid is hysterical. It really is a good question 😀
Have fun in DC! My Vibrams are stinky too . . . I did not know that you wash them with efferdent to get them clean?!
Mad Fox is down the street from my house! I love that place! We should plan a blogger meet-up there.
great job on the 7miler. So interesting to read about your running in vibrams. Have a great time tomorrow!
I have a crappy phone and am horrible at texting. I think perhaps I have freakishly large thumbs.
I love, love Shoo's question about fireworks on the day he was born!
Nice run. Have fun with your friends.
Haha! I like the way Shoo thinks!
