Personal:

I have always been athletic, but started running more seriously at the start of 2007. I had to take a few months off in the summer and fall. I had twins boys in Oct 2007 (hence the time off). I lost a lot of weight when I had them, but managed to gain some of it back. We have a double stroller, which is the hardest workout when I take the boys for a jog.

I got up this morning and still wasn't feeling very well.  I think the combination of whatever bug I had last week, and changing my running schedule to morning has just taken its toll on my body.  I set out and met up with Mik'L.  I wanted to do 4, but when I woke up, I thought I should only do 3 so I didn't over do it.  But once we hit our stride we felt like doing more, so we comprimised with 3.5.  It felt good!  

 Thanks Mik'L for getting up early to go with me :)

This run felt so good.  Getting up at 5:45 AM..... Not so much!!!  My hubby goes to work at 7 AM so whatever I do, I have to be home by then.  I really wanted to do 4 miles, so I tried to push it to get back in time.  I finished this run in 44:30 ish....

So I set out to meet up with Mik'l at the entrance of her housing complex. She was going to do 4 miles and I was going to do 5 (it is 1/2 a mile from my house to hers. Anyway, I didn't really look at my watch because it just depresses me. But at 4 miles I looked at my watch and it was about 43 minutes. I had to make up a little distance to factor in from Mik'l's house to the entrance, so I made up that distance and finished my 5 mile run in 55 minutes!!!! I am so excited you don't even know. I finally feel like I have hit my stride, like I did before I had to stop running a year ago because of the twins.

I had hoped to do 6-7 miles this morning but David had to today from 6 AM to 6 PM today, and I wasn't about to get up at 4:30 AM, so I decided to run at night.  Well after the whole day of being with the twins and fun filled Saturday activities flying solo, I was exhausted.  David finally got home, and we put the kids to bed, and I left.  I wanted to do 3 miles fast, and it was HOT.  I did okay and decided to do 4.  This was one of my fastest paces in a while. 

 Mile 1: 9:50 (down hill), Mile 2: 10:40 (combo, mostly up hill), Mile 3: 10:15 (combo, mostly downhill), Mile 4: 12:25 (UP HILL).  And if I have done my math correctly that is 43:10. which is what my watch said when I finished.  The last mile to my house, no matter what way I go, is always UPHILL and it totally KILLS me.  But according t Mik'L it is level ;)

 I don't think you will see times like that out of me again for a while, I didn't much enjoy that.
