Ran with my kid:-)

Getting back into it, this time I had a 6 year old running partner! Both clad in our Rutgers hats, we took to the streets. R60 seconds, Walk 30 seconds, yeah, lame, but it is all I can muster right now. Man, a month of no running really takes a toll on the old endurance. But I loved running with my son:-) On one of our walk breaks, he even said, "Hey Mom, we're pals." I told him yep, ok, but I'm also the Mommy, too. And he said, "Yeah, like when I talk back, THEN you're the Mommy!" I don't like sass from my kids, lol.

Some updates:
1. DH & I raised over $600 in our overnight Relay for Life walk this past weekend. And the kicker is our partner, teammate and youth group co-leader--who raised the most money again this year in our town for RFL and whose mom also died of breast cancer--she's age 36 and was just diagnosed with breast cancer. Age 36. What is going on, ugh. Your prayers/positive thoughts for Amy would be appreciated if you are the praying or positive energy type.

2. I passed my crazy test and will soon be awarded a MA in French Literature. Only took seven years....

3. I am now rehearsing (acting, singing, dancing) a community theater musical, because I wasn't doing enough, ha.

4. My boy & I are going to do a local 5K next month.

I am working on new running goals. Most immediate goal is to get back up to 3 miles, R10/W1, that will take some doing.

Peace to you all.

Long time no run...

Took 15 minutes today. Run 1 min, walk 30 seconds. Haven't run in over a month, how can that be? Lost so much endurance in a month, couldn't wait for the clock to strike 15 minutes!

Took my big test (still don't know if I passed and earned my Masters); took my HS students to France & Spain (everyone made it home safe & sound, no pickpocketing or calamaties, success); auditioned for a summer musical (callbacks are this week, will know next week); Relay for Life is in about 2 weeks (if you feel compelled to donate, please click HERE); I am working on end of year craziness for school; found out I have to write curriculum for about 5 weeks this summer (paid, but that's a lot of time I was planning to hang with my kiddos).

In short, life is nuts. I need running. Must. Just. Do. It.
