Yes, I am still that sore that I had to warm up with aerobics in order to run. :)  As James was teasing me for walking like an old lady on Sunday I reminded him that back in the day I could run a marathon and be less sore than this!  At least today my feet didn't clunk or drag because my legs were disfuctional.  Don't run a half if you haven't trained for one!

  • 3 miles on the Blvd with our new jogger!  She loved it as much as I did. :)

Got it in the mail from Amazon today, it's always fun getting a package on the doorstep!  It's the BOB Revolution. The old used one I bought from KSL ended up being a hassle with things you just never know until you're actually using it consistently.  Two big annoyances: the alignment pulled to the right constantly, so much that my hand would get really tired from pulling it back all the time...I couldn't even let it go for a few steps before it went really hard to the right.  And then it didn't fit in our trunk because the back tires were too big so I had to take it all apart and take the front wheel off and squeeze in in through the back and it was really long, so it was jammed up in the front seat as well.  Just to take it anywhere took 25 minutes to put it in and then take it out and put it back together, etc.  So I ended up never wanting to use it even though there were lots of times I wanted to take her outside for a run.  Anyway!  The new one is GREAT!  Huge reviews on Amazon and I have to say I agree with all of them.   It rides great, has a lever to correct the alignment easily, it folds up quickly AND fits into our trunk without having to take off any wheels.  Oh!  And the shade cover goes down really far so baby girl never gets sun in her eyes.

  • 10.5 miles, Parrish Lane loop, 9:48 AP
  • abs with 2x1 min planks

My mileage was super low this week (not really by choice) so I wanted to have a good run today and that is what I got!  I was on track for a 9:30 or lower pace but I kind of starting bonking at 6 miles....I usually don't eat breakfast before going out, but that was back when I left at 6 or 7am. =0)  Today I didn't get out till 10am so I really should have thought to eat when I first woke up!
