Mother's Day

I was woken up this morning to donuts, cards and gifts. My favorite donuts are Krispy Kreme chocolate covered, custard filled. The kids each picked out a card for me...singing cards nonetheless. My gifts were a wooden jewelry box that Andrew got from my MIL. He wanted to build one, but it was decided that finding one at a yard sale would be a good idea. He ended up not giving me the one they found at a yard sale, but one that my MIL had in her home. He says it's to put ponytail holders in for Kristin and me. The other gift was something I asked for...resistance bands for exercising.

We had a good morning at church and a good afternoon with the in-laws. I got a good nap this afternoon after lunch.

Clayton and I celebrated Mother's Day Friday night. He had to work, so we celebrated early. After we dropped the kids off with his parents, we picked up his new work phone, walked around Lowe's and looked at carpet and talked about possibly building a house a few years down the road. Then, we went to Outback for supper. It was a nice non-date night date night. We were back at the house with plenty of time for him to get ready for work.

I've decided to take a couple days off from my 10K training to allow time for my hip to heal. Yesterday was incredibly painful after my run. I iced it and also soaked in a hot bath last night to help it. I limped along at church this morning and finally took some more ibuprofen this afternoon to help. So far, it's feeling a ton better. I want it to stay that way, so Wednesday will be my next running day. Not sure what is scheduled for that day, but I'm at the point where I'm doing either 30, 45, or hour runs for the rest of the training schedule along with some cross training. I'll be okay to skip one scheduled run if it means my hip heals. It was very hard to come to the decision to take a short break. Hopefully this rest will do the trick and I can be back to running Wednesday.
