Slacking on the running

Well, not really slacking, but due to mandatory working lunches with out-of-town officials the last two days, I've had to skip my lunch run. One of my out-of-town colleagues told me he usually runs at lunch as well, so at least someone shares my pain.

I am trying a new training plan that I saw in the June 2007 issue of Runner's World. It is called the FIRST training program where you put in 3 quality runs a week - speedwork, tempo, and long runs - and cross train 2 other days. So if I get in a 4th run - great. If not, I'll just walk on the treadmill as my cross-training. I did speedwork on Tuesday and was supposed to do my tempo run today, were it not for my working lunch. GRRR.

S's last soccer game was Monday. He has improved so much. Even the other parents have commented about how he's been on fire the last few games. He's even shoving other kids back when they shove him. :-) His kindergarten graduation was Wednesday. So sweet. It really does seem like yesterday he was getting on the big yellow bus for the first time.

Canada Day weekend is just one sleep away! I can't wait. I haven't seen my cousin C in almost six years as she's been working in different continents, but she is coming to Winnipeg this weekend. :-)
