I signed up for the Las Vegas marathon again this year on account of last year’s being so much fun with family members and friends coming out, some to just be together and others to run races from 5K to marathon in length. I’m looking forward to November when I’ll be in Las Vegas again for the race.
My running buddy and I decided to run a second marathon—don’t ask me why—as well this fall and at this point we haven’t done any training or running much since the spring.
Starting tomorrow we’re going to make an effort to see how much training we need to do before November. We may be able to go out and run eighteen miles right now, but I think it would be more challenging than fun. Training up shouldn’t be hard, it just takes time.
Tomorrow morning we’re running ten miles to see where we stand fitness-wise.
The Big Boy Update: My son hit my daughter this evening because she did something he didn’t like. Gavin, his friend about twice his age, hit my son in response. My son was quite angry, coming downstairs and asking dad, “can you delete all the days that Gavin and his sisters are here?”
The Tiny Girl Chronicles: We tried taking my daughter to a movie again today. It just doesn’t work. She didn’t really want to go, but we had hopes she could at least try to see the big screen. She spent half the movie walking back and forth between seats, delivering popcorn to one of the other eleven people with our group. When she wasn’t doing that, she was playing with the reclining seat buttons or talking to me. She wasn’t particularly upset, she just wasn’t able to enjoy the movie.
