| | Hot, hot, hot. 5.2 ugly miles, 1 mile warm up, intervals for 3 miles, 1 mile cool down. Actually not a cool down since it was so stinkin' hot....more like a 'go slower'. I just realized I had to change my goal type - half marathon = done! Now on to the marathon.... |

| | No mileage on this day but lots of activity. Took the family to Elm Creek Reserve where the three kids kept me running around and then we walked the trails. Fun day! |

| | 3.0 painful miles - I have a blister and really shouldn't have run at all but it had been so long.....other than the blister I was just fine. |

| | Despite my gut gurgling and worries about an emergency bathroom stop when there was no bathroom in sight I had a great run! Legs felt good and I even though I was taking it easy (to prevent the afore mentioned emergency) I still made pretty good time. This cooler weather is LOVELY! |

| | First three miles were pushing my 3 yr old in the stroller, dropped her off at home and then did another loop. It took awhile to get back in the groove after dropping her off but after a mile I was good to go. |

| | 1 easy mile with all three kids. I'm trying to get my younger son ready for soccer and the older son just needs to get outside! Both boys did well, in fact, my older son was talking so much that I don't think I need to baby him quite so much as far as pace goes... :-) |

Speedwork at the track, my first time doing (what I would consider) true speedwork. Man oh man was that tough! 4X400's, each lap took me 1:45. I realize to the track stars on this blog that's slow but it didn't feel slow to me! I just wanted to record the time so that months from now I can see that I'm improving. Because I WILL IMPROVE! :-) On a side note, I still kicked my husband's butt....hee hee. |

| | Race: |
Snail Run (6.1 Miles) 00:56:59, Place overall: 68 | | This isn't the fastest that I could have run this but it was exactly what I wanted to do. In the couple of races that I've run I always start out WAY to fast and then spend a miserable last couple of miles. Today I wanted to experience letting everyone else start out to fast while I maintained a steady (and comfortable) pace. One thing about this race though - the last 1.5 miles were all hills! I was feeling ok after the race but my legs are sure feeling those hills now! |

| | Cross-training night. Lunges = Ow! Circuit training from Skimble app (love this app!!!) and then played tag with the kids. I actually saw my 10 yr old smile....I swear he's going on 16. It was a good night! |

| | Had to cut the run short due to DOMS from cross-training the night before. Usually soreness will get better as I run but it was getting worse and the run was doing me no good....sigh. |

| | Nice 5 miler. I don't know what the deal is, but last Saturday I ran a very slow 7.5 miles and this week I have been feeling really strong on my runs. Coincidence or something else??? |
