P90x Accelerator. We are modifying the Classic routine by switching out the one video that has all the pull ups in it with the accelerator.

Then I ran 4 miles. I might do a mile race at school tonight for funsies, It depends on how yard work goes.

I took the boys down to school to a mile race to benefit the xc team. We warmed up a lap and then I ran with the boys for the kids race. Caleb complained the whole time, but ended with a pr (9:30). Eli only complained a little, t never slowed down. He finished in 9:34.

Then I waited for the adult race. A couple dudes who were more serious than me wanted longer to warm up. I thought it was odd, since there were only 6 people running, but whatevs. I wasn't sure what I should go for. The other lady running asked me how fast I was planning on going. I said between 8 and 8:30, but when she said she would like under 8, I told her I'd run with her. I passed her about halfway through the first lap because I was feeling good. I ran pretty even, except for the third lap. I brought it back to end with a 1:45 four lap. I finished first, but there was only one other lady running. Then I cooled down with her and apologized for misleading her in the beginning. I felt good, but definitely could have busted it to go faster. Glad I didn't though.

I literally busted out laughing when I read that you told her between 8 and 8:30. Great job!

I felt like a jerk mid race.

I should have run with her the whole race, then passed her right at the end and told her to suck it.

Yes!

Hahah! That's what she gets for trusting you. Nice going on the race!
