5 on a Friday: Some questions

1. How do people who run actual long distances find the time to do it??? We are doing a 5-mile race in April, so I have been working slooooowly through the Couch to 10K program, and this means that 3 days a week, I need to run for a little over an hour. IT IS SO HARD TO FIND THE TIME. This week, I fit it in on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays by running the hour between when Minnie goes to school and when I could drive Dorothy and Cooper to school. Last week, I did Monday, Saturday, Sunday, but that meant I had to get up early on the weekend because we had a bunch of stuff to do. Bah. I guess I will keep working it in where I can week to week. (The other 4 days, I do a quick 30-minute run, and this is way easier to schedule). How am I ever going to train for a half marathon if I never have time to RUN?

One excellent weather-provided tweak is that I have shifted some of my dog walking (we do 60 minutes a day minimum) to the after school hours, and Min scooters-- I could actually probably do a shorter jog this way, to...

2. Can you even believe I let Dorothy talk me into this footwear combo?

(I will say this outfit was DARLING without the jacket, but I was trying to squeeze in a pic before anyone else came into the bathroom, bovs).

3. Why oh why am I always taking cold showers?

THE CLOUD OF STEAM that emerged from the bathroom after Dorothy was NUTS you guys. I was sitting on Minnie's bed while she read to me right across the hall, and I GASPED.

4. Is anything cuter than. a kindergartener spending Vday cash at Target and dressing up like a 100 year-old for the 100th day of school??

5. Do you think Annabel wanted to come along?
