Fast Running Mommy

I had tons of pent up energy from a very slow and kind of boring Sunday. Although I've told myself time and time again that if I'm bored on Sunday I'm not keeping the Sabbath day holy sometimes I still find myself unmotivated to put on a huge production for my kids and we end up bored....any ideas? 

At least I had a great run today...felt super strong..did crash a bit at the end but I found my good ol wild plums that grow along the river and popped in a few for a little bit of extra energy at the end.  

Had to take Jacob to doctor today which for me is about equal to an ER trip. I usually treat most things pretty well with home remedies. He is fine but at the time I was worried because he was breathing strangely and I didn't think he was sick. Turns out he did have a fever and we never did figure out what was wrong with him but by 9:30 tonight he was back to normal....weird.

I have an important announcement to make: I have a new running partner. Her name is Amanda and she lives a couple miles away from me....right next to the trail on the other side of town. I am so excited.

Amanda and I ran 4 miles together today. I'm nervous about if we are going to stay running partners or not because she's going to see a doctor about her knee today...what if he says she has to cool the running....first Adrianne...now Amanda. But my life is way richer from knowing Adrianne. I have a hard time finding time to socialize just for me. All of my friends are wonderful but we always have our kids around and are constantly putting out fires while we try to talk. A running partner on the other hand has nothing else to do but tell you wonderful stories or listen to you talk about past and present events.....it is a beautiful thing....

After we ran I added a mile...we averaged just over 10:00 mile pace...like 10:05 or something.....felt brisker than it does by myself..I guess I don't like quick running and talking...I like sleep running and talking....
