PM - 6 easy miles outside later in the evening. Average pace of 7:45/mile. The pace felt nice and easy, it was actually interesting to me to see the difference between 7:30/mile, which sometimes feels a little more strained to me, and 7:45/mile, which felt quite relaxing. After I got home from work, I helped the boys carve their pumpkins and then we made dinner. I didn't get to run until about 9:00, and then I had to run to the store afterwards and pick up a few things to make a chili for our ward's trunk or treat tonight. I really love this idea - instead of the kids going around the neighborhood, where there are more dangers, we all pull into the church parking lot open up our tailgates or trunks, and the kids march around the parking lot to trick or treat. There are always fun and games there, and we are having a chili contest. This will be the one time of the year when our kids will get to load up on candy. I'll have to go easy on the chili tonight since I am running tomorrow in a 5K I am hoping to win . . . |
