Double Rainbow

Have you ever seen one of these?
I took these pictures from my driveway after the basketball practice from hell yesterday






Everyone was out taking pictures.  This was REALLY cool.  I had never seen a double rainbow and the pictures don't do it justice.

On the sub 8 thing from yesterday.  It was only 1 mile and it was very close to 8...7:58 to be exact.  I don't now where it came from to be honest.   I think maybe because at mile 3 I realized I had forgotten my cell phone in the car and I went in panic mode because my kids were both in school and I thought "That's it!  For sure one of the schools will call while I am running!"

This morning my old legs were hurting a bit from yesterday's run and I had intervals on the menu.
6x400 m at 5k pace.
I am not using that pace because I know I can do better then my best 5k pace now.
I did the first 3 at 8:33 with 40 sec rest in between
Last 3: 2 at 8.22 with  50 sec rest in between and last one at 8 min.
The last one was hard,  I almost puke on the treadmill...I said a couple of bad words...all in French so it does not count.  Anne:  the one that starts with a T and ends with a K!!! Oops!
4 miles total, should have done a longer warm up but not enough time today.

My son Will did the big 2nd grade Math test last week, the one that they needed 100% to pass.  This morning his teacher told me he passed!!! He is the only 1st grader who did with just a few other 2nd graders.  These kids will receive a special award next week and that is when they will find out if they passed or not so I cannot even tell Will that he did..!  I cannot wait to see his face when the Principal calls his name!! :)
