I still can’t keep up with Tabitha, but I feel better after running tonight. I managed to cover 2.6 miles in 42 minutes. Today has been a busy day. We started with a 9.1 mile bike ride and we both managed to run on the treadmill before bed. I’m looking foward to a good night sleep and I feel sure we will be up early with the little ones. Jessie is on stage with The Big House in the morning so we will have to be on the road early.

Well … it’s been a while since I have posted any info … I have been very busy with homeschooling and learning to run!
I’ve lost count of the weeks but to the best of my recollection, I am on week 7. I have not followed the plan exactly. I have taken breaks when I felt it was needed and I have pushed myself on days that I knew I needed to.
Last week a did several sets of run 7 and walk 3. Last night I warmed up for 5 minutes and then ran 20 mins. I must be running slow because I ran last night at 4.8 mph. I generally try to run at 5 mph but I felt it was necessary for the first night of the 20 min run to be successful. I want to try 20 min at 5 mph next and then maybe 20 min at 5.2 – but that still doesn’t get me to a 5K in 20 minutes.
Any ideas what the deal is with that? Does everyone run a 5K in 30 minutes?????
The good news is I have lost 11 pounds since I weighed in on my original plan (Ten Minute Workouts). I have also done a bit of measuring which shows a loss of over 5 inches: almost 1 in. on each arm, over 1 in. on each leg, and 1 in. around my middle. YEA!!!!

Homeschool
This is one of our favorite fall outings each year. The weather was perfect. We managed to take the hay ride and visit a few booths before rushing to a birthday party. They were still trying to get a fire going to make some pottery when we left. The old flint stone and green wood were not cooperating. We also had to skip the kayaks this year. There wasn’t enough time to see all of the cool stuff.
Playcard is an educational center that has many interesting events all year. Our homeschool group has camped in the indian teepee’s onsite.

This year our church decided to make our presence known in Horry County. We had about thirty houses that showed videos from our children’s program, passed out DVD’s and distributed tons of candy. We were one of those houses and we had a blast.

We had a Turbeville Family Reunion last weekend. I can’t remember when the last one was. I really appreciated the chance to sit around, Hear a few stories about the past and get a few pictures. I also got a chance to fill in a few spots on my Geni tree.
