Sunday morning I (and Brooke did too) slept by way of my telephone ringing, my alarm clock going off, the doorbell ringing and somebody knocking on my door. My long term from the day past should have put me in some form of coma. It was bizarre as a result of I often get up to any and all noises. Yesterday I used to be in who is aware of what sort of REM cycle… I slept like a rock.
After church we went over to my mother and father’ home and we went on a stroll with my mother.
Afterwards we made our signature cookies for pals. Fairly positive making cookies for individuals is the principle theme in Dale Carnegie’s guide, ‘How To Win Associates & Affect Folks.’
Baking is nice however it’s even 1,000,000 occasions higher when you are able to do it with the porch door open as a result of it feels so good outdoors. I made a couple of of the cookies with a caramel crammed chocolate egg on prime. Not very fairly however an excellent tasting variation.
Sunday Dinner was with my second household!
These women know tips on how to grill.
We added a salad and a bunch of roasted veggies and had an ideal dinner desk dialog. Adopted up by ice cream in a waffle cone, after all.

I’m very specific about my working. There are some issues that I’m working OCD about and can at all times proceed to do these items a sure approach. Let’s speak about one in all these—> How I report my time/tempo when I’m working. There are issues I’ll pause for and issues I’ll completely not pause for. Accidents and emergencies aren’t a part of this record as a result of I’ll at all times cease for these after all:)
Causes that I’ll pause my garmin:
-Having to cease for a stoplight or for automobiles. Vehicles win over my frustration of getting to pause my run.
-Lavatory breaks, water breaks, tying footwear, adjusting clothes (including or taking off layers) or if I’m working with individuals and they should cease for a second.
*For instance, throughout our long term on Saturday we in all probability paused our watches for somewhat bit about 9 occasions over the 20 miles for various causes. It occurs. It’s really tougher for me to cease after which get my physique shifting once more. I want we by no means needed to await automobiles or cease to seize water however we do and I don’t need to absorb account ready at a stoplight into my common tempo.
Causes I might by no means ever pause the garmin:
-Tempo/interval runs… UNLESS it’s to cease for automobiles. In any other case, I don’t pause (I might hold the garmin going to tie my footwear or one thing like that if I needed to throughout pace exercises).
-Speedwork on the monitor. No cause to cease for automobiles and so forth. so I don’t. I’ll for a second through the recoveries or warm-up/cool-down however not through the precise interval.
-A race. Not ever going to occur. Porta potties, strolling by way of the water stations, tying my shoe—> I don’t pause the garmin in a race.
Causes I might pause the treadmill:
-I’m doing a straightforward run and I want to make use of the restroom, I must tie my shoe or I’m dying of thirst and must refill my water bottle. I can also pause the treadmill for a bit to take a telephone name actual fast whether it is simply a straightforward/restoration run.
-I drop my telephone, it hits the treadmill belt and goes flying off the again. (Though, I in all probability wouldn’t pause the treadmill if this occurred throughout a tempo or pace exercise on the treadmill… The telephone can wait, the tempo can not).
-When the treadmill makes me cease at 60 minutes.
Causes I might by no means ever pause the treadmill:
-I’m doing speedwork. Nope. Not going to occur. I’m a lot too cussed for pausing throughout a tough exercise. The one approach I might pause it’s if Brooke wanted one thing/diaper modified and so forth however that hasn’t occurred in about 8 weeks. I really feel like I would want to start out the exercise another time if I took a break/paused the treadmill throughout one of many intervals or a tempo run. I’m going into these exercises with every thing I want proper there and my footwear laces double knotted. I’m going to do the exercise that’s prescribed with out pausing the treadmill.
