I started my bi-annual running program with the girls at work. I am running with them 5 morns/week (6:15am-yikes) and we are "training" for a 2 mile run/walk race called Dylan's Run which will be held at the Summerfest grounds in early Sept. It benefits Autism (something Dylan's family started for him, I suppose.) So, today was day #1. It was a day to begin working out the kinks which include MANY of these girls: a). complain after walking 10 steps b). do not like mornings in general, let alone exercise in the morning c). do not have running bras or running shoes d). were winded and requesting inhalers after 1/10 of a mile.
This is why we train for 5 weeks, I guess, for a measly 2 miles.
Come on ladies, drop 'em and give me 20!
Also--I found out the gender of my brother and sister-in-law's babe-to-be!!!!! It's a...
(so exciting to be Auntie M. in December!!)
Worst Part of the Day-
Will-O seemed more dramatic (euphemism for intensely labile, perhaps) than usual. He seemed pretty short with Scarlet this morning for no reason (he usually is not). When I mentioned to him later he snapped and said he feels like he just needs some time to himself; to read, write music, etc. Please note he went to work-out this morn sans kids for 2 hours and then took a 2+ hour nap this afternoon. O.k.
I suggested he take a bike ride to get some air and he did. When he came back he seemed in much better spirits and able to function with a good attitude.
It's a worst 'cause I feel he gets a ton o' free time and still has issues...what oh what is the secret formula to his contentedness?

I had to look up the meaning of labile.
It's used often in the medical realm--i.e labile blood pressure, labile mood. Interestingly, Will-O had to look it up, too.
