And Running won! It's Sunday night on a long weekend and nobody will read this...but I don't care.

2 weeks of laundry piled up that i really didn't want to do...so I put on my running gear and headed out. Cleared my head and just ran. 10 minutes later i come to the spot where i either turn right and finish up the rest of my short little 7K around the big block...or turn left and go up the MONSTER effin hill and the 3 more just like it. what the heck, i'm feeling good and it's a great night. Up those hills I go.

Tonight my head was right, found my rhythm, the air was fresh and I just kept going. 11kms in just under 65mins. That's a whole 3 kms further than I've ever run in my life!!!!

And now i'll be up till midnight doing laundry. A SuperMom's work is never done.

    Why not just put the clothes in the washer, go running, then come back and put them in the dryer? That's what I do. It usually takes me around 45min to get in 4.5 miles and the washing machine takes 55 minutes.

    It's not a long weekend in Canada! LOL
    I love those runs when you just plan a short run and you keep going and going... A Forest Gump run I call these kind of runs.
    Good work :smile:

    Read it! It's awesome! I'm so proud of you. You are amazing!! :flowerforyou:

    I've only been running a short period of time. Well mostly a run/walk combo. But the longest I've ever run was only a couple of minutes, around 5. :blushing: But reading this makes me want to keep trying!

    That's what I was thinking? I do all the laundry and try to find ways to keep waiting for it down to a minimum since I just want to get it over and done with. Usually I toss em in and do something else like clean the house or even go workout then come back later and toss them in the dryer.
