My husband and I started school this week for the first time in many years with none of our own kids. Two of them are in college and started a week ago while one has joined the professional ranks. That was sure different, but not necessarily bad. I can honestly say that the first few days of school are exhausting! It will definitely take a few days to rebuild the stamina. Before heading back to school, we took a little road trip to Duluth for the weekend to see our oldest son who just started a new job. We are certainly proud of his accomplishments and what a super adult he is working to become. The guys went out fishing early Saturday morning. I took the opportunity to go for a medium long run of eight miles. I didn't want to press too far with the half marathon coming up this Saturday. Here is the view of Lake Superior I enjoyed for a good portion of the run. The weather was super humid, but sunny. I was good and sweaty! After the run, Blake's girlfriend and I took Charlie down to the Lakewalk for a nice long walk along the lake. By the time we were done, my Garmin was reading about 22,000 steps for the day, so it was a good hike. Here we are in Canal Park. After the walk, we enjoyed some lunch and manicures. We felt pretty silly after we'd each selected colors from the hundreds of choices and then changed our minds without telling each other...to exactly the same color! I guess that might be a sign that she will fit in well with our family. Plus she didn't seem to mind when Charlie insisted on sitting on her lap while we drove to and from the lake :-)
I hope everyone is enjoying back to school whether you are in school, have kids in school or just enjoy the rhythm of the day that the school bus coming and going brings to your neighborhood. I'll be running a half marathon on Saturday with a couple of friends. I'm definitely looking forward to that and will be sure to post over the weekend with an update! In the meantime, happy running!
