Awww thanks
@SarahDisney I think you are awesome too! I wonder why people keep leaving me all these Tinks in their comments??????
Oops I just left one for myself....I think it's contagious.
Earlier yesterday my hubby did a "dress rehearsal" for his triathlon next week. So he drove his car with his bike on the car-rack to a local lap pool. He set up a transition area inside his car basically and locked his bike up next to it. Then he swam in the gym and literally ran outside. He got one comment from a locker-room troll saying dismissively "done already???" to which he said "I'm in a triathlon", so I hope that genuinely confused the dude. He ran out and biked out and back to the car, then locked it up and ran. All around the town in his tri-gear.
I guess he wasn't tired enough when he got home because he suggested we all go for a hike along a lake he saw off the trail he was biking on. So we did a family hike and kiddo did such a good job collecting leaves in her backpack and looking for different kinds of trees, etc.
When we got home it was almost 7pm and he put on a taped Australian Iron Man from some sports channel. And I said I was going out on my "long run". So I'd say we had a pretty active day as a family unit. Oh and kiddo worked on her backstroke and breaststroke at swim school in the morning.....yeeeesh it's like we are active people now or something.
Week #1, Run 3
Should be 3 miles at 11:48 pace (so the shortest of my long runs for the training plan)
I must mention that I had a low battery on my garmin so Mile 1 through about 1.25 I had my watch to help, but then I got the dreaded low battery black box until I was able to hit a few buttons to make it go away right around mile 2.5. So much of this run was a bit of a blind run. Oooops. I still got all my stats and the watch didn't die until a lil bit after I was home.
Mile 1: 11:27, -21 sec
Mile 2: 10:56, -52 sec...oooooops
Mile 3: 11:23, -25 sec
Yeah, so I blame watching inspirational Iron Man people, then turning on the rundisney Avengers superhero playlist and then having my watch conk out on me. If it helps...I "thought" I was being slower than my old LR pace of 11:15ish during that blind mile+. And it's the thought that counts right? So, goal next week is to A) CHARGE MY WATCH! and B) Try to hit the goal pace better so I memorize the effort. Also maybe save the Avengers playlist for my next tempo run...got me feeling all super-powery.
Sidenote on Superhero music....anyone go to Six Flags theme parks growing up? I was a coaster "enthusiast" in my younger days and I can't listen to this music without feeling like I'm in line for Batman the ride or some other Marvel Universe roller coaster. My brain still does not compute how these movies are now linked with WDW.
In other "active" family news...my hubby downloaded pokemon Go on Friday just to see if my daughter showed any interest in taking a walk around to hunt for them. We brought her wagon. We only caught three actual pokemons...but the whole time she was "finding them" all over the place in her imagination. She'd point at a house and say "there's a robot animal in that bush." So for anyone who has young kids, save your money and just play Pokemon Imaginary Friends.
@ZellyB Did you get your purse yet??? Hubby may have spoiled me with one in the mail (because my text to him joking to buy me something turned into him actually buying me something) but I did not want to steal your purse thunder
I'll try to take a pic of mine today.
And finally, because this post isn't long enough....I've been green-lit to start researching for our next WDW vacay for Halloween time 2017. Wooooop. Clean slate, no idea on resort or week and gotta figure out who all in our fam is going. And sadly, this will be non-running related trip...but I really want to be a cool runner person who wakes up early and goes for a resort jog.
Ok, stay tuned later today for any purse and foodie pics...because I'm sure I'll have some to share.
on running too fast because you watched inspirational Ironman people!! They got you too pumped up. 
Not creeped out at all. Just means we both have great taste!! Can't wait to see the picture of it here.
