We ran at the airport for one more long run but after that I told my dad I need new scenery. The airport is a perfect run because of the gradual, long hills but I just can't look at the same circle again. We extended the circle to make it the distance we needed but we still had to double some of the run, which I hate. My mom came to do some running as well. She is doing so good. I think she ran just over 4 miles.
Our run was awesome! We finished strong and felt great afterwards. I remember my dad being nervous about running just 4 miles and now he just whipped out 7.7 like it was nothing. Running is truly mental just as much as it is physical. Speaking of nervous though, when I arrived at the airport my dad made me get in the car with him and my mom and then started driving. I asked what he was doing and he said he wanted to drive the route again. I asked why because we had already done that the time before and I had the mile markers written on a piece of paper in my pocket. There was no reason to drive the route. Then he said he wanted to show my mom where to run. Well she didn't care because she knew where she was going to run. He finally admitted that he was stalling because he was nervous. So funny. He didn't have anything to be nervous about because he ran strong. The only thing that could have improved the run was that we were both overdressed. It always seems so cold but then once you get running it always gets warm.
