I haven't really blogged much about my running since the half-marathon back in March...I've only done one other race that I signed up for and that was in May....
Kerry and I did sign up for Race for the Cure on October 8th, but it didn't happen...I got very sick the weekend before the race...Was still sick that Wednesday before and went to the doctor...Got a steroid shot and some antibiotics...But come Friday evening, I knew I still did not feel well nor have the energy to go and run...I was disappointed b/c that would have been the 1 year mark of my very 1st organized 5K run...I can say doing that a year ago made me really get into signing up for various things....I didn't get to run for 10 days straight and am glad to be better and back in the swing of things!
So next up is the Harvest Hustle and City of Lights in November and I hope I get to run one or both of those:)
Kerry and I have contined to run just to run...I did mainly a lot of Zumba and boot camp classes over the summer and ran here and there....But September we thought we might start adding in some longer runs on the weekend to train for White Rock Half-Marathon on December 4th...But he hurt his knee about a month ago and has not been able to run at all...He can walk fine, do the elliptical at the gym...But 1 mile into his run, he has severe painin his knee...He tried again today with no luck...So I don't know what's in store for him....He probably needs to go to the doctor but you know how that goes....
I'm just still running like I'm going to do White Rock...I haven't signed up...But still plan on putting in the miles in case it works out....I've not run more than 6.2 miles since the half-marathon and have just kept my long runs on the weekend at 6 miles up until last weekend....So last Sunday my friend Ashley Thomas and I headed to the Sikes Lake to run that 1.1 mile loop...Our goal was 7 miles---something she has never done before!!...She did great and made it...And I was happy to hit 7 miles as well:)
Today I went again --without her though:(--My goal was 8 miles and doing that by yourself can get boring...I started at 8:15 and the weather was right at 60 degrees and it was even kind of misty most of the time...There was a breeze but not too bad and it was one that felt good when you were going head on into it....But it was a perfect morning to run and I just enjoyed my music and the surroundings....And I did way better than I thought I was going to do...My goal was to keep it right at 10:30 mins/mile, but I ended up at 10:16 mins/mile!
They used toilet paper to dress each other up as mummies....
Then they played pumpkin bowling...Look at that form and concentration:)
Then they ate yummy caramel apples for snack....
Kohen and Bella....
She stood between his legs most of the class just watching...
They do a really fun song where they run around the cones holding hands....You could tell she really wanted to get out there and run around with all the girls...So she finally got enough courage to go for it....
Then she just stood there with the nervous fingers in her mouth as usual
Twisting her outfit/shirt like her big brother does when he's nervous....
She ended up coming and sitting with us again....But joined the group at the end for their stickers and Halloween candy bags....
There was another little girl in her class with the same sweet costume....
She was so confused...Had no idea who all these people were and took her a second to recognize us---haha
Then she kept turning around like where am I going??
We then go to the park for a picnic....Picture with my sweet bumble bee
Kohen wouldn't look at me to take his picture....
But I finally got him to look at me:)
It was senior night so they got to hand out roses to the football players....
Then he started doing this...And wouldn't just sit back for a decent smile...again, oh well!
But I did get a cute one by himself....
And a cute one of her....
Or this classic Kohen face in most all of the pics, but Kresee looks cute and is smiling:)
Playing on the swings, since neither kid would ride on the pony...Kohen wouldn't even go in and get near them... He is scared of most every animal since the dog bite incidence??...I held Kresee, but she would not pet them or touch them...oh well...
But we did get the kids their pumpkins and they are decorated and on our front porch...We now haev like 10 pumpkins displayed on our front porch!...
