Ran big circles around the pool while the kids were at swimming lessons. I wanted to make sure I got 3 miles in before they were done.  I made it back on deck just as they were getting out.  So my average pace was a little fast for easy, but I was glad I completed it.  Plus I was only doing 3, so it's not like I needed to sustain the pace (it was 8:19 avg).  

It was too humid, so it was a little hard to breathe.  But at least it was overcast because I started running at 11:05! 

Tomorrow I'm handing off the reins of "my" cross country team to their new coach.  I haven't even met him yet, but we'll meet for a run with some athletes tomorrow morning.  I have so many mixed feelings about giving up cross country.  It is goodbye to 13 years of coaching (10 of them with runners).  It's sad because I know that my chances of coaching ever again are slim to none.

you can coach again when your boys are old enough, if they are interested.

something else will come along; something better. look forward to the free time!

Oh, bittersweet! Nice creative way to get a run in--moms are amazing!

Way to get in those miles somehow. You moms are all so creative. God help me if my wife ever has to go out of town for some reason.

Very innovative approach to running.

Good job multitasking! It is great to get a run in when you would just have to wait anyway. I hope the "hand off" of your team goes well.
