  • 5 miles with the baby jogger on Bountiful Blvd, AP 10:21 

I worked hard for that AP with the hills and it felt gooood...opened my lungs way up. It felt really hot, like 80's or 90's but turns out it was only 71.

  • 4 miles on the TM, AP 9:43
  • abs and 2 x 1 min planks

This ended up being an unplanned progressive run, mostly because it kept getting easier, so I kept upping the pace. ;)

Here is a great treadmill pace conversion website. I need to remember to put the incline at 1% so my pace can be more true to outdoor running.

Wake up (again) to feed the baby, drive to the race, get a 42 sec/mile PR despite having to lug my 154 pound/6.5 week post baby self around for 3 miles... NBD....I got this! 

Today's 5K went a lot smoother than 1.5 weeks ago. I remembered to start out slower and get into a good oxygen consumption zone, which made it easier to sustain a faster pace through the whole race.  I had a fun time! :)  HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

I hate it when I forget my Garmin!!  Now this run- and any effort I made to run fast- is lost to the running gods F O R E V E R ! !

Still feeling really good! :)
