running in circles

Another soccer practice. Another round of laps.

Since tonight's practice is held at the school, the laps are not as long is distance. I ran a total of 19 laps. That's about 4 miles. I stopped after 15 because I thought I was done. After a couple of minutes talking with the other moms, I decided I'd rather be running. So off I went for another 4 laps. I would have done more (20 was looking good), but practice was over and it was getting so dark that I could no longer find the ruts in the dirt track. Also the temperature was dropping. That felt good.

On the way out to the car, Megan said she would run next to me. I was jogging. She said she could walk as fast as me. So I said "well, what if I run?" and took off. She took it as a challenge. Surprise, surprise. We raced each other to the car. It was fun. We were laughing as we both touched the car at the same time. She took a short cut!

Man- I love my kids.
