It's Beginning to Feel Like Fall

This week the mornings have started to be a little crisper and just a bit darker. I LOVE Fall, sorry to all of you whom are sun worshipers, but "sweater" weather is my favourite time of year!

This week I did my first interval training on the treadmill to help build on my speed.  I am not a huge fan of the treadmill, but I am still debating between a Garmin or Nike + for Ipod I needed to have some technical intervention for tracking the time. I did enjoy the run, especially since Rooster was in the chair beside me watching Mickey Mouse, but  I think the best part was hearing him yell  "Go Mommy Go". It is not easy running on the treadmill with him around, luckily Cst. Hubby was home and helped keep him at bay.

Today was my 'long'run for the week, on the training schedule it was set for 4.8 km ( Rooster & I ended up running 5.3km-but that was due to a detour through a different subdivision) I really wanted to push my distance again to day, as last Sunday I ran 8km and felt pretty decent afterwards. However when I looked at my schedule I saw why the distance was reduced, because next week it is my first 10km. Now I have run 10km before, but not in a VERY long time. We shall see what comes of this. I think I am going to run 10 km in one direction and have Cst Hubby and Rooster meet me. That way I know when I am done, I am done.

So I have nicknamed my son Rooster due to the fact that he is up with the sun. Well once again, he has gone and reminded me to be on my toes...his nickname this week has been Wolfy- because not only does he want to stay up late- he actually howls like he is a wolf. For any of you who are worried, no need, we have been talking about different animals and this is just the latest one he has held on to (this is normal right? ;) However, at the grocery store yesterday he started to purse his lips, throw his head back and bay like it was a full moon....so loudly that another child across the store heard him and started to do it as well. He thought he was quite clever, and this morning on our nice quiet early run he started again in a very quiet neighbourhood...until a few dogs started barking back. So if you live in our neck of the woods, I apologize if you were awoken by the sound of wolves howling...it really was just a very goofy Rooster xo
