Sick Day

I woke up at 5:05 am this morning to the sounds of my 4 year old throwing up.  Not a great alternative to my alarm clock, that plays the greatest hits of the 60s, 70s, and 80s in the morning.  So, I get to stay home today, which isn't really great timing, as I have a weekly meeting at work on Tuesdays and a department meeting after school. 

I went to the gym Sunday to do my long run, since my husband was working.  The weather was gorgeous, so I hated running on the treadmill.  But I had a good run - 8 miles in 84:25, which was about a 10:34 pace.  I stopped at 2, 4, and 6 miles for a water break, trying to simulate when I'd stop during the half on Sunday.  My water breaks lasted about a minute.  It was a good pace to run, though, and I hope I can keep that up this weekend.  The weather is supposed to be pretty cold - starting temps in the 40s - I'm still debating how I'm going to dress.  Probably long sleeve with tshirt over it and shorts.  I might wear a ski cap on my head though - which could contribute to some odd pictures.  I'll have to look more closely at this as the weekend nears.

Tonight, I hope to hit the gym to run and run 4 or 5 miles.  I'm thinking about starting a boot camp class next week.  It meets on Tuesday and Thursday nights, is 12 weeks long, and would probably go a long way to help me get in strength training.
