My dogs are barking...

I need a nice foot massage.  I have been on my feet all day and I finally get a chance to sit down and rest them.

My day started off with a 4 a.m. wake up call from Roxy.  I don't know what the hell she was doing but she barged right into our room.  Back to bed wee one!  Then the cats are like "humans are awake!  time to eat!"  Not!  So they start clawing at the door looking for some interaction.  Get back out of bed to get them out of the kids rooms because they wake the kids up.  Finally I can get back to bed.  6:15 a.m. Roxy is up again looking for some TV time and breakfast.  Here we go:

WOD - Met Grigs at 8 a.m. at the ESPN parking lot.  ESPN put on a 5K race around campus this morning for employees and family.  Free of charge but they were looking for donations to the Jimmy V Foundation.  Since Grigs and I need to plug in one more long run before our June 5th race we decided to meet at 8 a.m. and run for about 8 - 9 miles then run in the 5K campus run immediately afterwards.  Our first run was 1 hour and 25 minutes.  Legs were crampy towards the end but we did good.  Great conversations Grigs!  Thank you so very much!  Then the 5K was about 27 minutes therefore we ran for a total of 1 hour and 52 minutes today averaging about 11 - 12 miles.

Back home for some yard work; edging flower beds, weeding, mulching and playing with kids.  Quick shower (even though I really didn't want to but I really needed to) and took the kids to Lake Compounce for opening day.  Got there for 4:30 p.m. and the kids, Todd and I had a great time.  They love LC!  Grabbed a large pizza there and chowed down our supper and back on the rides we went.  Great night with the kids.

8:11 p.m. on my computer clock and I have a bowl of ice cream sitting here waiting for me to devour it so I best be off.  Time to elevate my feet and snuggle in my flannel pj's.  I'm so essssited!

GRIGS!  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR AN AWESOME RUN TODAY.  YOU REALLY MOTIVATED ME DURING THE 5K WHICH WAS THE HARDEST PART OF THE RUN.  YOU ROCK!  I LOVE YOU!
