I ran six easy miles (9:20/mi) with Larry this morning then the Lake View 10K loop (8:05/mi) with Tom and Nathan at noon. Fortunately , Tom had run 14 miles in the morning, and Nathan had run 8 fast ones, so they were willing to slow down to an 8:05/mi average pace so I could keep up. Karen made me a tray of peanut butter bars for Father's Day yesterday, even though she had been sick all night and still wasn't feeling well in the morning. I hope eating peanut butter bars is good preparation for running the relay, because I'll be eating them whether it is or not. What a sweet way for her to tell me she loves and appreciates me, almost as sweet as the homemade cards with heartfelt messages that my three youngest daughters gave me. My three adult children showed their love by being there, and by allowing me to watch the "My Turn On Earth" DVD Karen gave me instead of the first half of the NBA Finals game between the Lakers and the Celtics.
