The weather finally cleared on Sunday afternoon so Paul, Blake, Camren and I decided to get a family run in.  We drove to my parent’s house to visit and get a little run in.    They have a 2 mile loop in their neighborhood that turned out to be a very good training route.  I grew up in that neighborhood and rode my bike on those roads hundreds of times and I don’t remember all of those hills!  The temperature was GREAT; it was so nice to run without the sun glaring down.

 I did come across two rude little kids who called out “hey lady” every time I ran by their house.  On the last trip, they said “hey lady, give me some of that orange drink.”  Funny thing though, when I turned around and jogged back to the end of their driveway and offered them some of my orange drink, they ran back to their house screaming.  I know, I know, it was not a nice thing to do BUT I was tired and my tooth felt like someone was in there turning a light switch off and on and I was not in the mood for rude little kids.  I was also chased by a big brown dog and this dog wasn’t just playing around.  It wasn’t barking, it was growling.  It also wasn’t just following us down the road; it was nipping at my heels.  Mr. Xctmnt took care of that dog for us….Thank you baby!

 It was a great run, the best I’ve had in a while.  It wasn’t as long as I planned but it’ll do.

 I did get the root canal taken care of today and I’m optimistic that in a few days, I’ll finally be back to normal.  I’m looking forward to seeing our Running on Faith buddies at the Mockler Beverage 5K this Saturday.

 I am Flash and I’m running on faith that the weather will hold out this week so I can get a few more good runs in!
