Today I did something I have waited about a year to do. I checked out the local ladies running group. I read about it in a magazine, but since I work on wed and I usually have no child care, it has not worked out. It is mostly moms and mostly over 40 years old. (Just like me!!) The kids are both in camp all week and I found a sub to teach my aqua aerobics class.
The weather has been calling for storms, rain, cold, and other lovely summer time joys. I got an email saying the running group might cancel, even though they usually run in most weather. Luckily, it was drizzly, cloudy, and cool, but not pouring and no thunder. It actually was not bad running weather.
The track work out was great. I do not usually do track workouts, so this was just what I needed. I hope I will be able to switch my work days so I can join this group every week. In just over a month, my little one will be in preschool 4 days a week. I might actually get time for a life of my own!!!

what happened to the summer
Hi All,
Aug 1st. Sounds pretty ominous, doesn't it? School supplies have been in the stores for weeks.
As a mom, I am usually pretty excited for school to start. Not this year. It's been a fun summer. We've been to paris, Cape Cod, soon to the Jersey shore, and back to Cape Cod. I've managed to get in a few nice runs. I've dragged the kids to the beach, the pool club, my sister's pool. We've done farm camp, drama camp, swim lessons and more. Next week, both kids will actually be at the same program. Nice!!
What next? I am actually hoping to switch around my work schedule to be able to join the local ladies' running club. It is a mixed group, but mostly moms over 40! Perfect. They do their track workouts on wed am. My little one will finally be in school on wed am! I am going to try to join them for a try out session. I think the butt kicking of a coached track work out will be great, especially since they run all year (they move inside in the winter) while my current sat running club ends in oct, just as I need the group to get me through the long New England winters.
