Yesterday I took Mom along to BAFT’s prediction run (an idea which I think they may have actually gotten from me when I told them about the similar run that BARC did two weeks ago!). The distance was 3 miles, so I predicted 32:30 — just under 11:00 pace. Mom predicted 58 minutes for her walk time. It was humid, but thankfully the sun was hidden behind a good layer of clouds. I finished just over my prediction in 32:37 — dang it, I took one too many quick walk breaks! Mom shattered her prediction, finishing in 51:03. She was really surprised. Maybe it was because Houston is so flat. Who knows.
We spent the rest of the day watching HGTV (Mom’s favorite), doing some errands, watching The Pursuit of Happyness (good movie but you have to wait a long time for the payoff), and visiting Gavin, Jen and Carina. For the first time, Carina was actually awake when I saw her and it was very fun to watch the funny faces she was making. I held her until she got fussy, at which point Jen took her back and Carina immediately calmed down. I guess she already knows who her mom is!
