Today did not find me at work attending the staff meeting. Thanks to the generosity of a co-worker, I was able to spend my morning standing in the sunshine on a golf course on a beautiful Montana day.
The whole reason for this round of "escape from work for a 3 day weekend" was Bean. He became interested in running as a 6th grader and is now in his second year of high school running.
We (the Boss and I and all the other parents) stood on the course and watched our kidlets run circles around us 3 times.
We lucked out that Bean wore bright neon green compression shorts under his running shorts. Made him easy to find in the crowd.
By the end of mile 3, he had given his all and was in a blind sprint for the finish line.
And he ran all the way through, not slowing down near the finish just because there was no one behind him.
He's not thrilled with his time, but after nearly 8 months of no running, he's coming back strong and has great promise for the end of the season.
And, because I'm me, here is a long sought after picture of Mickey, pretending he's a dog.
This particular toy has been carried all over the house, including being brought to my bed one night when he wanted to sleep with me.
Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to get some sunshine time in this weekend!
