I ran my first 4.6 miles to a park because I promised my two year old I would take her. So I pushed the kids and averaged 9:20 for pushing. We stayed at the park for a little bit so my legs got a little stiff. My total run today was 5.3 miles pushing at an average pace of 9:38.

I got about 2 miles in on my treadmill today which is good because originally I didn't think I would get a run in at all today. I'm not sure on exact mileage because our treadmill is really old so I'm calling it two miles. I did some abs afterwards too.

Today I wasn't able to get a run in but I did do boot camp with Sariah for an hour. I haven't done it in two weeks so it was pretty tough again but a really good workout.

Its been hard this week to get some runs in because Riley has been gone and the weather not so good for pushing. Today though I was all set to push the kids in the stroller when my mother in law offered to watch them so I could run. So I went over to her house and saw Sariah pushing her baby near the house and we decided to run together. It was the last 2 miles of Sariah's run and even with her pushing we were going about 7:30 pace which was fast for me but it was a good workout for me. After I left her I ran around 8:30 pace the rest of the run.

I ran on the treadmill today at the gym I only got 25 minutes in because of kids. Maybe I'll try to run some more later. Right now I'm watching the sad events that happended at the Boston Marathon. We knew a few people that were there. Luckily they are ok. Really shocking and sad.

Today my sister in law watched my kids so I could go running. It was really windy today but I managed to get 4.73 miles in at an 8:33 pace. It took me 40 minutes to do and hopefully I'll get some abs in sometime today.

Riley got me a new garmin watch for my birthday so I don't keep stealing his. I first did boot camp today with Sariah we did sets of 100. It was pretty hard and I did my run a few hours after that so it was a slower run today. My average pace was 9:00 min.

Today I ran on some trails. They were pretty steep trails at least steeper then I've done so far this year. So I wasn't worried about my pace I just enjoyed the run. I'm glad I got in 6 miles and my legs were a little tired from yesterdays faster run. My average pace 10:10

Today I did boot camp with Sariah for an hour in the morning and unfortunately saved my run for a couple hours after that. It's better to do the run first but I couldn't work that out today with the kids. So my run was slower today because I was pushing and I was worn out from boot camp. Got in 4 miles at an average of 9:55. At least I got the run in.

Mile splits:

10:15

9:51

9:52
