Thank you Syl!

I want to give a super shout-out to my buddy Syl at Live Smile Run. 

In my mailbox I received this little package (all good things come in small packages - right?)

The note she included really touched my heart ♥.  I was grinning from ear to ear while reading it.  It is now folded and tucked into my running pouch so I can take her support and encouragement along with me. 

Dear, sweet Syl sent me the coolest necklace with charms from Lift Your Sole.  She couldn't have chosen a better one for me.  I absolutely ADORE it!  Everytime I see it in the mirror I smile. ☺

Now I can take Syl along with me when I run.  That makes me SO happy!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Syl! 

I ♥ it!

Sunday morning I went out on my favourite trail run.  I was to meet my friends around 9, but went early with my husband and our dog.  We did about 4 1/2 miles together, until I ran into my friends.  He had to get to work.  I ran for about 1/2 a mile with my friends, but they're just starting up again so I ended up going ahead and running another 6 miles on my own before meeting them again for coffee.  Total of 11.1 miles. 

It was super hot and humid out and I forgot to put on my Glide before I left.  So now I'm sporting some "lovely" chafing on my arms.  Grrr!  But the day was beautiful, the run was great and relaxing, and I really enjoyed hanging out with my friends .... so I'm not complaining.

I love to run with friends, but the reality is becoming that we are at too different of paces. I think from now on I will just arrange to meet them for coffee afterwards. The last few times I've gone ahead of them, come back and basically said a quick hi, then gone off on my own again. That's OK, but sometimes when I stop/slow down I find it difficult to get back into my rythym. I think I'd rather just keep going non-stop.



A couple of you asked what kind of dance my daughter does.  This year she is doing Jazz & Hip Hop.  Both at a very low level.  But she has a good time and has met some good friends through it.  She did gymnastics for a number of years, then dance the last couple years.  Next year she wants to play soccer because "it's more active" and not a "girly" sport.  She also has lots of friends who play soccer.  Kind of late to get into it, but I think she'll have fun.

I got some of my prep done this weekend, though not all.  And some I have to redo.  I'll be back with that story tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Heidi
