Run wasn't great - never is when I'm pushing the stroller!  However, when I run without it I tend to have great times...  :-)  Time to talk goals;  I set a goal to run a 1/2 marathon this year and so.....time to get to it.  Life has been getting in the way but I came across a 10 week training plan that will put me in perfect position to run a 1/2 in Sept.  Training starts now - I'm going to get that 1/2 in if I have to get up every morning at 4:30a!  Well, maybe not 4:30.....:-)

Went to the gym so I could get in some strength training - 3 miles then arms, legs, and abs.  Good all over workout and man oh man did it feel GOOD!  It's been hard getting to the gym lately, everything I can do just to get in a few 3 milers during the week....

Fine run, weather was perfect.  The only issue I'm having is finding TIME!  I need to get in some longer runs but geesh - with the three kids I'm sure having a hard time fitting in runs.

I live in MN where it's so VERY HOT and SAUNA like so I decided to hit the gym instead of running outside as the heat index was reading 110 degrees.  Bad move - the gym was worse than outside!!!  I quit after 1.5 and did some arm toning and then went home to finish my run outside.  Still hot but at least there was the occasional light breeze and the humidity didn't feel quite as bad.  Then back home for some ab work in the lovely air conditioning.
