Moms Can’t Run Fast….

In whose world? Not mine…

So, I told you I might be back for a two-poster. Here I am, it’s me- again. Yipeee….this is for all of you who are home tonight, not out celebrating V-Day. The Hubs has class until 10 PM tonight so we aren't’ really celebrating today. I got my present last night, some Bath and Body Works goodies and some new Versace sunglasses!! Yeah!!

Do they make me look famous? Thought so….

I have some Maui Jims that I got before our Maui Vacation (fitting right????) and the lens has a huge crack. I never wanted to mail them in because I didn’t want to be without shades. NOW I can mail them in to get fixed! I have very sensitive eyes. I pretty much always have to wear sunglasses, even if it’s cloudy. And please don’t ask me what is up with all the in the car photos lately. I have no idea. It’s weird, I can’t explain it.

So my workout today just kind of fell into place. I planned to drive to the pool, drop off my bag (forgot about running to the pool with a towel, goggles, swim cap, shampoo….etc.) then drive to drop off the car then run to the pool then run back to my car. Time was ticking and I ended up running out of it and I couldn’t miss, or be late to my appointment to drop off the Jeep so that I could get to work later. I know, this is boring, stay with me though…The Hubs came to pick me up from Firestone and took me to the pool. We got there and it was closed. Something about something weird in the water, white foam everywhere…ewe. No go on the swim. So I went back to the Hubs’ work  for 4.5 miles around the compound.

I was sporting my Valentine’s Day socks.

I did a mediocre 4.5 mile run that turned into a 4.75 mile run.  I was a little sore and tired and it was 70 degrees warm! It was beautiful but I was thirsty. This is a typical summer running day in the PNW…only the tip of the iceberg for summer weather here. I’m going to die this summer.

And finally, tonight I was reading a cute book to LB titled Things Mom Can’t Do. It was things like, mom can’t cross the street without holding a hand, can’t go to bed without a kiss, or two or 10…then I got to this page:

Moms cant run very fast….

book page

The second page I’ll give ‘em, I can’t hear my self think half the time, but run fast? Yes, yes I can. LB looked at me with huge eyes and said, “Mom, that’s not true. You CAN run fast, can’t you?”Well, son, yes. Yes I can.”

Is it Friday yet?

That’s all folks…..I wonder what I’ll write about in the morning? Spankies?  What would you like to hear about from me? What do you want to know? All you have to do is ask…and I might answer, maybe.

  6. Ohh the heat! It is brutal! As soon as I curse the cold, I remember the 6am runs to beat the sun since there is no beating the humidity.

    The spankies are cool beans!

  13. Ha ha, my son has the Dad version of that book. It's cute (for those who haven't seen them, the books are tongue in cheek- actually saying that the mom/dad CAN do all those things, sort of) I love the socks too. I wish my big calves weren't emphasized by knee highs b/c I always think how super cute they are on other people!

  15. I think we need to go find that author and show him a thing or two about what moms can do.

    the glasses are HOT!

    And that is what my quad looks like just standing there. You should see it mid-run. It's kind of disgusting.

  25. You look so Victoria Beckham in your new shades!!! HAWT!! And, so festive in your socks!!

    I am curious how you decided on a particular spankie pattern?! Actually, what prompted you to try a TRI? Were you a cycling fish in your former life?!! ;)

    Thanks for your sweet comments btw!!

  26. When my son was little, we had a book called "Big & Little". Every page was something like "Elephants are BIG, Mice are little" "Birthday cakes are BIG, cupcakes are little." etc, etc...

    Then there was a page that said "Ladies are BIG, ladybugs are little." Um EXCUSE ME???

    Kudos to your little one for recognizing the book was WRONG!!
