This week has been crazy warm for March-- it is amazing what a little sunshine and fresh air can do for a person. Our Girls on the Run Program started last week and I am trying to get into a good rhythm of coaching that twice a week. So far so good. I also decided that in order to be a good coach that I should actually be "a girl on the run" and considering I am racing a half this weekend I'd better get to it! (a little too late to do anything more than fake it, but I will consider it a baseline :) In the spirit of working on my running, I decided to do something that scares me and join up with the dick pond fast track team for a workout last night. It was great. Hoping that that will really help me out of a slump. Sometimes you just need to be with actual people. Also signed up for the Twin Lakes triathlon this week and I am really hoping to do the Rev3 half in August. Thinking through some running goals and it makes me excited to work on them.

On the first amazingly nice day of this week, I took the kids with me to measure out a route at the school for the girls to run. Johnny and Hudson ran the course with me like little studs. I think Johnny needed some success this week and I was super proud of him. Afterwards, the kids asked me to play tag with them. I initially thought no, lets just go home, but then remembered how my mom would full out play tag with us at the park and how much we loved it! What in the world do I do all this running for if not to play tag with my kids?! Totally busted myself. My kids are getting fast and they can get away from me with a liitle jig this way or that. I only go forward :)

Anyhow, it was sweet and I am looking forward to some new things! Bring on the spring!
