Some of Sunday

Yesterday I did two runs, one in the morning and one later in the afternoon.  Good practice for HOod to Coast.  The second one was with my kids in the double stroller.  That is a lot more weight to be pushing so needless to say the four miles was pretty slow, but it didn't feel too bad.  Avery kept saying "Ah this is the life!"  

The sky was pretty overcast and we were having a cooler than normal day so it didn't feel too bad to run in the afternoon.  I think it was only in the low 80s.  I am so ready for some low fifties running. I think Cola was enjoying the cooler temps too.

This morning I got up and did a 3 mile bike ride, parked my bike in the ditch and ran 5 miles then biked home.  The 5 miles felt the best it has felt in a long time.  Not as good as I know it can, but better than it has. 


Then I got started on a box of cherries from the western part of the state.  I made four batches of jam and canned 5 quarts of cherries.   I have a lot of cherry jam now. I also watched 3 and a half episodes from season 3 of Greys Anatomy while I was busy dicing cherries.  Boring, but.. YUM


and Rocky's eyes started opening yesterday.  She is two weeks old today and really starting to grow! Check out her little half mustache across her nose.

    Those cherries look delicious! I totally still watch Grey's Anatomy too--even though it has gotten a little ridiculous in recent seasons, I can't help it, I'm hooked in for the long haul!! :)

    Like the first photo of you and your dog. Yes, I love cherries too! Our cherry season is over now. It's usually late June. Your little baby kitten is so adorable! I'm getting excited for H2C. We had our team meeting Thurs nite and got our t-shirts. Less than two weeks away!

    Cherry jam sounds so yummy! Good thinking on doing two separate runs during the day. That is a great way to prepare for the relay. OOOH HTC is so close! I cannot wait for the recap!

    Those cherries look awesome! My kids loved running in the jogger this weekend! Luckily my brother was the one pushing them because those kids are not light!

    Biking somewhere to run is genius! If I actually liked to bike, I'd totally do that.

    Nice job doing resistance training with the kids in the stroller :)
