Climbing, Dislocation, Planes, Run, Oh My

Yesterday, Jeremy and I went rock climbing. We got to Granite Arch rock climbing place, and we were pretty cocky! We thought that we were in pretty good shape, so this would be nothing. The kid, yup he was 19 and had a great sense of humor, told us that we were over the hill. We had a great time joking around with him. I think our sense of humor came out because we were both nervous. He suggested that we try the bouldering room until 2 when we could take the belaying lesson. Jeremy and I got into the bouldering room, and wow did that kick our butt. After an hour, we were exhausted. We decided not to do the belaying class yet. We were going to come back and practice a little bit before we tried the big dog. LOL I am sore in odd places, under my arms in the obliques. Either, I was doing it wrong or I am way short because I had to use my full body to get into it.

Brodie had a dislocation of the elbow. It sucked! Poor guy, but the doc popped it back into place and he is feeling better with every passing minute. I felt like a horrible mother because it happened at daycare, and daycare didn't want to say it did happen. Finally, one of Brodie's teachers said that he was crying like crazy yesterday afternoon. Thank goodness because the daycare's tune changed.

Because we were at home, Conner, Brodie, and I did a lot of hanging out. We passed by an aviation musuem, and we decided to stop. OMG!! It was awesome!! Conner, Brodie, and I got to go into several planes. It was amazing. I think I would love to go back without Conner, so I could read and explore a little more. Conner wanted to be in the plane, and nothing else. I totally enjoyed experiencing it with him, and I am glad he made me stop. I doubt I would have done it if he hadn't.

I pushed myself out the door this evening to go for a run. I was going to pass it up thanks to lack of sleep, and it getting late. Instead, I walked upstairs got dressed and walked out the door. It was a hard run. My bad was tired, but I pushed through. I wanted to make sure I got through my 2 miles to make sure I was feeling ok. I did do a little bit of exploring, and I love it. I love going for a run and getting lost. Hehehe It makes the run a little bit more exciting. Right now, my baby sis is reading this and she is probably freaking out because I told her that I was going for a run in Boston. I will make sure that I don't get lost during that trip. :o)

Tomorrow's run is speedwork. It will be a five miler with a 1 mile warm-up, 1 mile @ 10 min, 1/2 mile recovery, 1 mile @ 10 min, 1/2 mile recovery, and 1 mile cool down. Should be exciting! Watch out Jeremy, I will be catching you soon. Ok, no I won't. He is truly hit his stride at about 7:30-8 minute miles, not going to happen. When I was in the best of shape, I hit my stride at 10 minute miles. I am training a little differently, so we shall she what happens!!
