Treadmill workout. This has been one of those days when I've had my running clothes on all day and can't seem to find time to run.  I was finally going nuts, so instead of making dinner, I decided to get on the treadmill and watch Harry potter with the kids. They are eating a frozen pizza right now :/ - but that's ok- I cook most nights for them.

Treadmill- slow and steady 67 mins - about 6.3 mph

New treadmill record for me. I don't really enjoy the treadmill, but it was nice to sleep til 7, plus I got to learn how to make Pati's tortilla soup!

Squeezed in an easy treadmill run before my kids got up. Started out around 9:30, then sped up to 8:20 for the last 15 mins.

tried out the new Hokas- they super cushioned and feel great. I didn't feel fatigued in my calves at all from the lower heal drop, but I will still wait to use these for a long run until I go on a few more runs in them to get used to them

I joined my old running group on their long run. I knew they were going 17.5, so I was planning on turning early to get 14 or 15. I didn't turn in time, so I stuck with them and I planned on walking after 15. We went from Indian hills up valley view to snow canyon parkway, then went all the way to Ivins, then back down through Santa Clara. The sunrise was so pretty because of the few clouds in the sky. The sun was up as we ran through Santa Clara- it is such a cute little town. We ran past Jacob Hamblin's home and I think I'll take my kids there soon to check it out. I kind of trailed the group most of the time with Jessica, but overall it was a good pace for me for that long of a run & with the hills. Ave 9:10. My energy felt great, I did eat 5 honey stingers and I know I could have run the whole way, but to save on my hip, I stopped and walked  at mile 16 for about 1/2 a mile and I was going to walk all the way back. I got a little too bored and cold, so I just decided to run the last mile. This was probably way too far for me to go right now, but I will stretch out my hip a lot and maybe bring my mileage down a little next week. Very mentally encouraging post-baby run!
