Twinsies

 Friday was Twins day at the kids school. This is the one day a year the girls don't mind matching. They look so much alike they don't really need to dress alike to look like twins, but I didn't tell them that. Myles had made plans to match a friend in his class, but I have no idea who.

I told Emma at one point that this hair was very "80's teenager" and, hearing only the word "teenager"...she wants this style everyday.

We are a walking Brazen Racing billboard on nearly a daily basis.

He was studying the ground and all the glitter decorations laying there.

It's been 4 weeks of no running for Brian. He's done 2 bike rides of around 5 miles in that time.  We are taking him out for a 2-3 mile run this afternoon to test out the calf. I can already tell it's going to be a fight to make him start slowly. He said he'd keep his first week to 20 miles and I nearly spit my water out across the room. I was thinking  5 - 10 miles the first week. Maybe three 3 milers the first week, tops. Right?? I would be happiest with a one miler, then a 2, then a 3 if there's no pain.  If he starts slow and has no pain, he should be able to rebuild to a solid base in 4 weeks. BUT...if he starts back fast, he could end up out for another 8 weeks.  Patients, my dear. Patients.

It's interesting to me that with just one of us running for the past 2 months, I feel so selfish on the  weekends trying to get runs/workouts in. At the same time, not being able to hike as a family, or enjoy our family runs has been the pits.  Makes me really appreciate that we both enjoy running, racing, and hiking.
