Here we go..

Ran is South Weber today, hot and slow. AP 9:18

Katie watched my kids so I could run. So thankful for good friends. Hot day at 10:45. 

I did 5x400 meters with 1:10-1:20 min rest. This was my first real workout since the baby and it was hard but I'm glad I got it out of the way, hopefully they'll start to get easier. I was shooting for 1:40 for each 400. 1:37, 1:38, 1:38, 1:39, 1:38. 2 mile warm up 1.7 mile cool down.

I also did boot camp, muscles will be sore tomorrow. 

I wasn't planning on running today because I was way to sore and fatigued from the day before to go but I'm counting the 1 mile of running I did while my daughter rode her bike and I pushed my other two kids, anyway. Deal with it. 

I'm still sore today but did more boot camp/strength training today plus ran 4.3 miles. 

South Weeb run, I wasn't as sore today. AP 8:53

My two girls like to go on "runs" with me when I get back. So I took them out. I'm always surprised by my two year old, she loves doing it and never whines she just silently runs with her little legs. 

Today was the first day I didn't feel so heavy on my feet. AP 8:48

Today was another step in the right direction. I'm starting to feel more smooth on my runs. Ran up woodland hill today. AP 9:00

Strength training

Ran from my in-laws house and picked a hilly course.

I did 6x400 today with about 90 sec. rest. I started with a 2.3 mile warm which included a couple strides to get my legs going. I felt good through 4 of the 400s so I thought I would do 2 more but my last 2 I fell off pace. Overall it was a better workout and an improvement from last week.  91, 92, 92, 91, 95, 95.

Strength training

I enjoyed running on the trails today and ran for 63 minutes, my longest run since the baby.

Quick run this morning to get 30 miles for the week. Sariah watched this morning while Riley was in Provo racing. So grateful for good friends who offer to babysit so I can run. 

6 miles in the rain AP 9:00

Fiver in the heat. AP 8:59

Ran in South Weber, then spent the day celebrating our 9 year anniversary

I ran my first race since my baby. I'm about 3 months post partum and I was happy with my race today considering how long it takes me to get in shape after having babies. It was just fun to get out and race again, even though it was almost 100 degrees.  I'm still a long ways off but I used this race to get my legs moving again. This race is short and hilly, you run up two very steep hills in the beginning and the middle. Katie won it overall then Sariah came in 4th. I ended up being the 3rd place female. AP 7:47 

AP 8:50

I also did some lifting today.

77 minutes on a new trail by the North Ogden Divide. I really liked this trail but because I'm out of shape still it took me awhile to do 7 miles. 

Felt better today. AP 8:33.

.6 with my daughter.

Ran in South Weber this morning while Sariah watched my kids. Then we lifted afterwards. AP 8:33

Hot day running, as soon as I got back from my run we went swimming. AP 8:56

I ran a workout at Beus pond this afternoon. It's shaded enough to where it's not terrible running intervals there in the heat. I did 8x400 with 200 meter jog for rest. I felt stronger then I did two weeks ago when I did this workout. Two weeks ago I barely got through 6 today I got through 8. 93, 92, 92, 91, 90, 91, 91, 92. 

6.5 miles with Katie in South Weber. This was my first time running with someone since the baby. It was an easy day for Katie and a good run for me. I'm glad I went with someone. I definately ran faster with Katie then I would have by myself. AP 8:17

Ran in south Weber. I hope I can keep adding a little to my weekly mileage. AP 8:26

6.2 miles in south weeb in 101 degrees. AP 8:32

.2 with my girls after my run. They didn't want to go to far in the heat.

Another hot run in South Weber. I run through any sprinkler that's on. My legs were sore because of the strength training I did earlier in the day. AP 8:52
