Today I ran a lot of the run with Sariah. She was pushing of course so I could keep up with her ok. We ran up in Shadow Valley and I got some pretty good hills in. My average pace was 8:30.

Today my legs felt fine and my breathing was fine but mentally I was burnt out from the week. So my run felt harder then it should've and we weren't going fast. Riley was out of town and this was the week my 4 month old decided not to sleep well at night or during the day. It's been one of those weeks.  today I got 4 miles in while Riley pushed and I averaged 8:20. My watch just died so I won't put my splits up today.

Ran with Riley today while he pushed. I took yesterday off because my knees are starting to hurt. So, I need to focus more on eating healthier and trying to lose more weight. I know that's the reason my knees are starting to hurt. Good run today average pace was 8:14 and ran 5 miles.

I was going to run 8 miles today but couldn't finish because my lower back starting hurting. I had to walk the last mile. Not sure what it is yet. Hopefully I'll figure it out.
