7 one mile loops by my house, dashing through to check my children between loops. I ran at a comfortable pace but probably a little faster than a recovery room---mostly because of an eagerness to check on my children, in particular my toddler. Big brother Nick has strict instructions to keep her in sight at all times but at just getting ready to turn 9(in 2 weeks) he can become distracted. The loops are still nice though since I can see my street and anything that moves on it throughout the whole loop so I would know if a strange car was headed toward my house and take a shortcut to get home. Anyways, 9:30 between checkups is just a tad too long so I ran faster--not sure how much faster--but I covered 7 miles in an hour. My muscles are a little sore from the strength exercises yesterday--but no real pain anywhere so that is good! I found out more about my 10k next weekend. Surprise, it is actually a trail race. I have never run in that kind of race before, but I am actually really excited. I am going to run for fun and take care not to twist my ankles--rather than go for any kind of time! There are no prizes but you get a picture of yourself running and cookies at the end!
