first run

It was a great few days with the kiddos and my talented husband at home working on a very long list of projects! This has also been his first days of running since the double marathon back in May. 26.2 in Wisconsin and the following day in Michigan. He earned his mittens! We still don't have an exact answer as to what his leg injury was but he is on the mend. After 2 months of rest and icing, he is ready to get back to his 1st love.

Here is Ralphs take on his first run with the club..
ughhh, where did this heat and humidity come from? last time I ran it was in the 50's. a .4 mile run into town and then did a practice run of the Grayslake 5k course with a few first timers. stayed to cheer them though the finish line, then another .4 back home. naturally I was a couple minutes late but the kids were patiently waiting for me to run them around the block. totals: 4.26 miles, 41:09, 9:40 pace and 534 calories burned.
