Update (with much more later)

Summer Update #1:
I have been out of school for about 4 weeks now. I am coaching summer running with the cross country kids. We run at 6am Monday-Friday. This means I am up at 5am. Training is now in full swing with hill days, long run days, 2 days a week in the weightroom after running and 3 days a week of core workouts after running. We ran a 5k a few Sundays ago with the kids and I PR'd!!! I love the fact that I'm getting older but training smarter (with the kids) and actually running less miles per week than I have in the past and am getting faster! It will be interesting to race again in the fall after we start doing speed workouts again...

I didn't want to blog about this but I had to throw it out for those of you who didn't know...we had to say goodbye to our girl, Chloe, 3 weeks ago. It was a very difficult situation (one that I don't wish on anyone, EVER) and we are missing her like crazy. We did all we could and gave her a great home the past 2 years but sometimes it's just not enough...

I am on the east coast for my (now annual) summer trip. I am without my camera (see funky pictures in my last post!). Cannon's customer service was FABULOUS and offered to fix our camera for free but we had to send it back to their repair facility and are waiting for it to be returned (hopefully before our Colorado trip!) I am relying on pictures from Mom & Jen so once I get them uploaded I will blog more (with pictures). So far I have been visiting family and even made it down to the Outer Banks last week....Keeper is joining me in PA for a long weekend this weekend so I am excited to see him!!!
