Well, I ran 5.03 miles on Monday night! My longest run to date! WOOHOO!!!! Now I know I'll have NO problem with my 5 mile race on Saturday morning! YAY!!!! It wasn't fast, but, it also wasn't slow. BUT, it was 5 miles! ALL IN A ROW!!!! I'll run 3-4 tomorrow night and then take Friday off before the race.

ran a mile this morning with the kids and then ran 3.1 tonight at the gym. I also signed up for this run for next Saturday. Yes, it's a 5 miler. It should be FANTASTIC! I'm sooo excited!

Freaking fabulous 3.11! Just wonderful! I re-joined the local 24-hour gym down the street from the house and ran a quick (ha!) 3 miler. I am sweaty and feeling re-energized! WOOHOO!!!!!

Running....glorious running! I ran just about 4 miles today. It was FABULOUS!!! I was pushing the running stroller w/Megan in it and Molly rode her 2 wheeler. What a good run! We made 3 stops. Once at the gas station for gum and more ice for the water bottle. Then we stopped at McDonald's for lunch. Then we stopped at the grocery store for a some groceries. Yeah, that was super smart. 3 miles in and I decide to add 25 MORE pounds to the stroller already pushing a 27lb 2 year old. Yeah. Fun last mile. LOTS of sweating and a bit of cussing. BUT, I'm home now and my quads feel fab and so do my shins. I was really worried how my legs would handle today. So far, so good! It was HOT and humid outside, too!

Well....I better go put crabby Megan down for a nap.

Oh, man...almost 4 months. Wow!!! Finally back to running. I think my badly sprained ankle can FINALLY handle it. It really sucked. I sprained it at the beginning of May and it's been a LONG LONG road to get to finally run again. I lost almost the ENTIRE summer of races I wanted to run in. I can't run the 1/2 marathon I wanted to. I have NO BASE at all right now. I ran almost 2 miles last night pushing my new running stroller and it SUCKED. Probably the hardest part was I had all 3 kids with me. Molly is 6 and just got rid of her training wheels. She did GREAT on her 2 wheeler the whole time! Now, Seth on the other hand...oh, man....I see why animals eat their young!!! He can ride on 2 wheels better than Molly, but, he refused to ride anything other than Molly's old bike with training wheels. THEN he would just take off and go crazy-fast down the street. He was 2 blocks ahead of me at one time. I was yelling for him and running pushing the running stroller as fast as I could. I wanted to ring his neck! I will NOT be taking him on a run/bike ride for a while. What a turd. My quads are killing me today, but, tomorrow they'll be better. I'm hoping to get out tomorrow during the day with the kids and do a little ride/run, but, Molly has a dentist appointment in the middle of the day for a filling, and I work tomorrow night, so I'm not sure it'll happen then. I'm off Thursday without a single thing planned, so maybe then.

21 days....just 21 GLORIOUS days until both Molly AND Seth go to school! WOOHOO!!!!!
