Home Soon

Don and I went to the YMCA to run tonight. Our training plan for this week is:

[Walk briskly 5 min, run 3 min] repeat 1x, walk 5 min. Doesn't seem tough yet, but the trainer said we are training smart, to avoid an injury.

I was on Skype with my son, Erik, tonight talking about our training plan, here is our conversation:

Mary Ann: what is ur best time running the mile?

Erik: um idk, we always run 2 miles

Mary Ann: what is ur best 2 mile time?

Erik: 11:30

Mary Ann: Oh my, I am more than double your time, I run one mile in 11:53, but I'll get better

Erik: Yeah that's not bad mom, you can get better

Mary Ann: thanks for the support, I like running

Erik: yeah, of course, you're my mom, you'll always have my support, when I come home I'll run with you at the Y.

Erik is leaving Iraq in 12 hours. He is heading home for good. It'll be good to have him home.
