Circles and Squares

Fathers Day 5K with Anya. It was awesome but i started out wrong. I had to get cash and I did'nt dress properly. Remember when I told you about the post baby lady leaking problem... well I wore my new gray capris instead of black and lady leaking problem reared its wet pants. Seriously I wet my pants while running because I have very little bladder contral. Its unpredictable completlty sporadic and I'm ok with it. The best thiing about wetting your pants is that its super funny, all you can do is smile.

Anya totally kicked butt she finished way above her time goal at 24:01 second, I trailed in at 29:36 but mind you I did that while wetting my pants. I would say I deserve a points bonus because I was multi tasking:)! Really though I won (I was the only one in my age division) but still I won. It was a super fun race with tons of very nice people in a beautiful location. I really enjoyed this, I think I woudl like to run a small 5K like this every week or two. What a motivator and for the 1st half I was well on my way to hitting my 27:00 minute goal-- that made me happy as now I totally know I can improve my times. I was also suprised I had to drive though old Auburn and its so much prettier than I would have expected. 

Now we have to talk Anya into coming to Oktoberfest not to to run but just to have fun!!!! :)  I'm looking for a house fo rus!!!!

D and I walked to Kent station for new running shoes. Yayyyy  Saucony Omny 9's are now ours. :)

Jeff watched D. I love the new shoes they feel solid, I notice that they are built different than other shoes. You know where it normally curves in for your arch-- these don't it almost seems as if they are on the wrong feet. I'm geussing this is why they are so awesome. I forgot to charge my Ipod so bummed. I dont feel too safe listening to music with D because I want to be on high alert and protect her from all the people who might try to steal her cute little baby butt but for me alone music is king!

I have to go shower  but I have a goal to run 9 miles this weekend. Dont laugh but to do this I am gpoing to just do a mile here and there so Im goign to wear running capris the whole weekend.  Make a game out of it.

Later in the afternoon we walked to the Farmers Market in downtown Kent. It was awesome, we got snap peas, baby onions, fresh garlic and mushrooms to make Daddy Day Stir Fry. Yummy!

Aroujdn the neighborhood sans baby, still nice my shins hurt:).

It was SO warm out 77 degrees so so nice. I love the sun!!!! We really took our time we stopped at a park so D could play on the swings while we were out. She is so cute had the best run ever.

My shins didnt hurt like I had expected that was pretty cool. I really like the new shoes.

Very nice run could, have should, have been longer but menacing black clouds in sky I even heard thunder. Made it home rigth as rain drops hit.

Golf course loop with Jeff then later around Greenlake with the family.  I love talking with Jeff and just being around him.

Today I ran at Alki with my freind Angela. She has a knee injury and is just getting back into running. It was neat-- not many people probably due to the fact that its a week night. We found an amazing park behind Saltys that has two landings for with the best Seattle sklyline views ever. I was really happy with this run. It was good to connect with Angela and run in a different neighborhood.

Denali had so much fun, especially because we got milkshakes from Luna Cafe-- she literally drank 3/4 of it and was arm deep scooping the contents out of the bottom of the cup. Wolfing down cookie pieces drenched in ice cream. She was so hilarious, totally covered in chocolate ice cream from head to toe and she was SOOO sticky. It was too funny.

Ran around the neighborhood. I wish it was warmer but it was still lovly. My shins hurt not bad but I noticer for sure.

I also know I really need to run alot more to get ready for the Leavenworth Half and Hood to Coast. Looking so forward to my running commitments for the rest of the year. Jeff said if I quit my job he will go running with me every day!!!! At 9 or 10 wouldnt that be awesome!!!
