Weekend Update and some running stories

This weekend was so rad !!! I have to first say thank you to my husband who loves me and thinks it is so great I love to run  and doesn't mind watching the kids  Saturday mornings and sometimes  that turns into Saturday afternoon.
I feel like we are deep in training for San Diego 100 miler. The miles are getting longer and the runs harder. It is also getting warmer. This weekend was an oh shit and yeah run weekend. Saturday I was up at 4:30 am and in the car by 5 am to get to the mountains by 7am. I had stop for coffee and a bathroom so the ride turns into 2 hours. I was grateful to be there on time and ready to do the training I find to be the hardest.  The Orriflame suffer fest. We run on the PCT for a couple miles and then down the canyon and then up again. 10 miles down and then back up it feels like so much work coming back up. I think that runs like this are so important for mental training if you are training for an ultra. Doing the long hard runs that scare you are the ones that make a difference. That was my oh shit run.. Then Saturday I had the San Diego half marathon . I love this race it was my 6th year running it. I saw a bunch of The Trail crashers before the race and ended up running with a friend Nartaya the entire race. It was a really easy race and I was so surprised I didn't have a-lot of pain. My legs felt better the farther we got into the race and we talked the entire time about our kids and just ran. We ended up with 2:02 and that was great time. I know we could of gone faster but I think both of us just wanted to run at a good pace. That put me at 70 miles for the week and well on my way to the right training I need to finish SD100 . I hope you had a great weekend and happy trails..

Its a Happy Monday

Its Monday again does anyone else feel like that went by way to fast. I do.. I had a full weekend. I feel like I should have rested more but I did not. I went to the movies with my dad to see Mudd. I liked the movie and my dad loved it. He said rarely do you get to see a love story from a mans point of view . The actors where all amazing. You cared for all of them by the end of the movie. My girls friend came over and hung out with my family. It had been a long time since my kids had seen her so that was nice. She is so good at making chocolate chip cookies so she make 3 batches for us she also made a cake..Yum

Yesterday I went to Stamping Details in Poway and took my second class by Jaime D. She is so crazy talented. I had so much fun. I love taking classes. I feel like its a day at the spa with girlfriends. My good friend Charlene took the class with me . Everything is more fun with a friend or two. I took Jaimie's but I was afraid to mess up my piece of wood but after yesterday class I came home and started a new girl and I didn't mess anything up. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours .. My sweet dad babysat my kiddos and they swam all afternoon. So everyone was happy.. Have a great week and I will check in soon..

Weekend Update

Hi Guys it my weekend update. I had a pretty good weekend. It all started out with a super fun painting class. That is a great way to start out any weekend I do not have my kids. Its amazing how we are all painting the same thing but they all come out so different. On Saturday I saw my family and spent time with my best friend. Oh my and guess what I finished....
My Smash Book
How exciting is that. I love the feeling of finishing an album. I am so excited to show my kids tonight. I spent a couple hours scrap booking at Paper Tales in San Diego. If you want to get some crafting done this is a great place to do it. They have cute classes and honestly I cant remember the last time I sat and just worked on my albums.The employees so sweet. I had Mexican food 3 times this weekend and Italian food once. YUM.. 

Sunday was full of unexpected fun. I looked at a house and went for a walk with my dad and Jenny and what was going to be a 3 mile walk turned into lunch and somehow 3 miles turned into 8. It was hot but I got to see a part of Bonita I had not seen before so that was nice. Then some more time spent talking with my best friend before driving home. I am grateful for friends who love me enough to listen and my dad that just loves me.. Have a great week and I will take pictures of my Smash book to share with you tonight..Lets have a great Monday.
