This week was my peak running mileage of the summer training. The extra mileage combined with the hottest and most humid week of the summer just didn't mix well. My plantars started hurting on Thursday, so I took a few anti-inflammatory this weekend. With some extra icing time, the foot is okay. Thankfully today the weather was perfect. I had almost forgot what it's like to run in good weather.
Aside from my foot hurting, this weekend was a boat load of fun. Saturday morning we took the girls to the Children's Museum. This was Casey's first trip unless you count the one time she went while Andrea was still pregnant! Everyone had a great time, and the only reason we had to leave was due to tired kids. Casey literally fell asleep the minute we left the parking ramp.
Right after that, I caught Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. This movie was down right awesome. From the intro Zelda song, to the one-liners, to the fighting, and all the video game references in between. Sadly, the box office has spoken, and this movie is a flop. That's too bad, because I enjoyed this movie more than a lot this year. I honestly would have thought this movie appealed to the video game masses out there, but apparently they were all too busy playing Starcraft 2 this weekend?
Saturday evening Casey went to church daycare where Andrea was helping out, and she had a good time with the other toddlers. Meanwhile, Megan and I hit Nicollet Commons Splash Park. The weather turned cooler around 5:30pm, but it was still awesome and Megan didn't want to leave.
Today was the only bummer part of the whole weekend. We packed up everyone to go to swimming at the YMCA, while Megan had her last swimming lesson of the summer. Sadly, when we got there someone had thrown up in the pool so it was closed. On top of that, Megan didn't want to do her lessons so we just left. But we made the best of it, and went out for ice cream and then visited a park.
Now I just have to make it through 8 more days of work before I can enjoy a very much needed vacation...
