Easy 3 miles and Sunburn

I started babysitting yesterday and boy am I tired.  Its not the babysitting thats tiring, its all the driving and then last night I had doc appointments.  But even though I'm tired, I still gotta fit my runs in.

No, its not this bad
Before I get to my run, I went to the pool today with the kids I babysit.  They are both in middle school so I was able to just sit and chill while they played and swam with their friends.  It was very cloudy out so what did I forget to put on? SUNSCREEN!!!!  So my legs and arms are burned (its a moderate burn for me) in a weird pattern (I had my legs crossed and my arm was resting on one of my legs). 

Well, I tell you this because it is no fun to run with sunburned thighs and knees... I did an easy 3 miles on the treadmill today.  I could have pushed harder but I am running 9 miles at 7am tomorrow and I don't want to be over tired for that.  I'm running with my friend which is good because I have to get up and I'll run faster with her (or I won't stop and walk).  I hope my sunburn is better tomorrow, its going to be a miserable night sleeping.

So, 9 miles tomorrow and then I'll be in Chicago Saturday through Monday.  I hope to get in cross training while there and I'm bringing running clothes just in case theres a moment when I can get out.
