    I worked until 2 today in the two year old class. I had read the text wrong yesterday and just thought it was the one's. They were a little more chilled today, except they had a Mother's Day Brunch (It was more like a continental breakfast @tarun_yadavA) today so it was a little tough on some of them to be dropped off for the second time in the classroom. The baked zita was homemade and pretty good.

    When I got home, I made a couple of phone calls. Each one was going to call me back, so I was torn as to whether to run on the treadmill or driveway. I compromised and ran short laps on the driveway so that, hopefully, had I heard the phone ring I could have sprinted to answer it. Of course, the call never came, but I got some outside time in and got my run completed.

    I did a run/walk. It felt like I was running a lot faster, at least harder, than the Garmin pace showed. My Avg pace was 12:42 min/mile. Splits were 12:34, 12:49, and 12:45 min/mile. Avg HR was 142 with a max of 163 bpm.

    Ugg. Did it again. I keep hitting "post reply" instead of "save draft"

    Congratulations @yirara ! You are doing great!

    Nice walk. That is a beautiful tree @angf0679 .

    Nice @Mari33a .

    @martaindale That sounds like a good place for a run - the trail that is. Hopefully they will get the entire thing finished and usable soon.

    I ran 5 miles before work this morning. The moon was beautiful as it was setting in the sky. Probably no run tomorrow. I’m helping time a race in the morning and then planning to get in a bicycle ride on the trail.

    @quilteryoyo - I love having a new car but hate car shopping! Hope your choice and experience is an easy one!

    @daria0919 - A couple of friends and I signed up for the Richmond HM in November! I hope you will be around and we can have a meet-up.

    Good luck with your race on Sunday @John772016!

    Nice running @Teresa502 . I hope you have a great day with the race and ride. The weather seems pretty perfect for both. I usually take forever to find a new car because I hate the shopping experience too. But, I had researched beforehand and already had in mind what I wanted, if it drove well. Now, to research prices and see what kind of a deal I can get. LOL

    Sounds like a great park run @ContraryMaryMary .

    Nice running @kgirlhart .

    @Mari33a I applaud you for getting up so early to get your run in! Have a fun day!

    Great run @tarun_yadavA . On the upside, it appears the friend's marriage is sticking this time. That does sound like a "tough" month, but you will get through it and enjoy every minute (well, most of them).

    Thanks @SummerSkier . No special diet suggested for mom. Just told her to eat well and drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of exercise…all things that she is already doing. She said it could be that her kidneys got damaged if she had been really sick and dehydrated and it just takes a long time to recover from that. We are hoping that is the case, even though we couldn't recall her being sick last fall…which is when this all started.

    I slept in and missed the open window for the rain started. Oops. I am waiting on the heavy bands of rain (and I mean heavy). I have my eye on the weather radar. I WILL get a run in later today

    It's also delayed as I need to charge my Garmin 🤦‍♀️

    Nah, I missed my chance to run with @martaindale when she did the princess thing up the road at Disneyland a couple of months ago.

    Nice run @Scott6255 . Very nice of you to help out the van owener too.

    You're doing great @AlphaHowls . Hang in there.

    Nice run @angf0679 . Sounds like you channeled your inner child for the puddles. Sorry the guy was rude.

    Thanks @John772016 . Great running and having 2 months of birthday celebrations is the way to go. I hope it isn't too cold for you in the morning.

    Thanks @kgirlhart . Nice long run today. Enjoy your Mother's Day outing tomorrow.

    Nice and easy is the best way to get back into it @chris_in_cal . You're doing great.
