Yoga yesterday--Neil is still working on the treadmill relay board. He fixed the capacitor and the blown fuse and then started testing it again and apparently there's a transistor that's gone bad as well. So...still waiting.
Didn't run this morning because I was worried about everyone getting off to school (and Luke was SUPER fussy and I didn't get him calmed down until it was too late to leave and get back in time to see Abigail & Juliet off). So Neil came home a little early this evening and I ran out the door as soon as he got home and ran 5 miles in the rain through my neighborhood.
It took me a few miles to really get into it, but by the end I had settled into a slow and steady pace, dodging puddles, looking at Christmas lights. So good to be out. It's been a really stressful couple of weeks in a lot of ways, and I have missed the running so much as a way to metabolize all the stress hormones. And I guess it's good that I am practicing running outside again now so that it's not as much of a shock when we're in Utah and I am (hopefully! otherwise I will be a cranky mess) running there...the altitude is going to be enough of an adjustment!
5 miles; about 8:48/mile as near as I can guess (it may have been faster than that but definitely not slower)
Hurry up and get here so we can run. I've also told Rachael that you are coming. We'll set something up so you can meet her for a run.
