My sister Meredith and I got together the other evening with our kids. Her oldest son, Danny, is not quite 2 and my youngest son, Jake, is a little over 2. So you know that is a recipe for a calm relaxing visit, right?
Here's how the boys summed it up after we parted ways:
Meredith: Danny, did you have fun playing with Jake?
Danny: Jakey fall down. Jakey fall down. Jakey fall down. (long pause) Jakey fall down.
Me: Jake did you like playing with your cousin Danny?
Jake: Da-ny poosh me. Da-ny poosh me. (long pause) Da-ny poooooooosh me!

PR!!
This is going to be quick.
I have the whole house to myself except for Jake who is napping so this report will be fast so I can join him in snoozing for a bit.
The Frederick Half for this year is over. Last year my time was 2:24:18 and this year... drum roll please... 2:18:06!! Yeah!! A personal record. Not what I was shooting for (2:12:00)but hey, as long as I beat my last year's time I'm happy.
It was seriously humid this morning and if I can lay blame for a second here I just want to say that I think I could have done a bit better if not for that. I've not had the opportunity to train in the heat yet this year because the weather has been pretty mild up till now. I mean just the other day I was contemplating wearing a headband to keep my ears warm during one of my tapering runs because it was so cold and windy. Anyway, the whole run was hard for me. I felt like I was pushing the whole time. I got really hot the first mile and never really lost that "too hot" feeling. Even when there was a nice breeze.
More in a bit:) I'm resting now!
