47 minutes

Okay, it's not the best time for a 3 mile run, but it's a time under 50 minutes. ;) Today was the first official Saturday practice for Team in Training. It was a tough run in the morning humidity and a few good hills (which I am now feeling in my glutes). No, I didn't like the fact that I had to get up at 4:15 a.m. just to hitch a ride with another runner. Then when we get there at 5:30 a.m., we ended up waiting until 7 just to start our run. Craziness. All in all, it was a blast. My mentor and teammates are hilarious and I'm glad I got paired with such an awesome team.

Coach Moe (as Moe is now called) even called to track my progress for today's run and gave her motivational wisdom. In her ongoing efforts to keep me motivated, we are doing the "Too Hot to Handle" 15k in Dallas on July 19th together. I'm excited, but intimidated. This woman is doing more miles than I am in a week and she's preggers. Bleh. It drives the inner competitor in me, so her goal has been accomplished. I'm definitely going to make sure I get more training in as I only have 1 month and 5 days before the 15k.

Most of the women on my team were able to go home and rest. Yeah, not me. Moco was ready to play and I am his playmate of choice. We took Daddy breakfast, then hung out at Hobby Lobby for a good two hours picking out craft projects to do while on vacation next week. Then we came home and worked in the yard, etc. It's been a full day and I am ready to crash. Not just yet though, doing laundry and getting ready for the first Father's Day for the hubby. :)

So I'm off...
