Crazy Weekend

I hope everyone had a fun Halloween. This weekend was nonstop and included very little running. Actually I did fit running in just not in the traditional go for a run and complete this many miles. Mike was gone working with Rice football in El Paso so I was left to take the kids out to collect candy and get them to their games on Saturday. I worked a half day Friday and then got the kids at school so we could get home to carve our pumpkins before the nights activities started. My dad came over to see the kids and help out where needed. After a late night we were all exhausted but we were out of bed at a reasonable hour Saturday to get ready for soccer. There were snacks for the team to prepare and uniforms to gather and quickly wash. These things were done and we managed the throw everything in the car and only be a few minutes late to Tabitha's game. She played on one end of the soccer fields and Alex played half a mile down on the other end. I parked near his game to unload the snacks and drinks. He was in place with his team and then I ran back to watch the more of Tabitha's game which was starting the second quarter. I am happy to say just as I arrived she made a goal! I spent the rest of the time running back and forth to catch as much of both games as I could. We won both games! I think the parents thought I was very odd. Oh well I got to see the games and get in a little running.

Sunday I couldn't get up due to another late night. Mike's plane landed at 2 am and the kids were up and down waiting for him to get home. The day flew by with general errands to be done. I managed to get on the treadmill at 6 pm for around 5 miles of interval training. Hopefully today I will be able to make it to the gym and get back on track. I have races I would like to do this season but so far things have not lined up for me. I have also decided to change my plans and run the half instead of the full. I need to get myself in gear and switch over before it is too late. I have no idea when the deadline is...
