Will and I explored another part of the bike path.  I loved that it's marked.  We went north.  We saw a canoe, a hook and ladder truck, a few dogs that were friendly because they were on leashes (Will is very afraid of dogs right now), butterflies, people fishing, bikes and walkers, and the river.  Will loves the rapids in the river.

Twice during our run--out of the blue--Will said, "Momma, I love you so much."  He melts my heart.

Today I wanted to keep our run closer to 3.5 miles, but I couldn't find the bridge I wanted to turn around at.  Will and I were exploring the path on the opposite side of the river.  I was looking for the bridge by the library to turn around at.  I kept looking and kept looking.  Missed it.  We went across the next available bridge which ended up adding another mile onto our run.  I was very hot and tired when I got to the last three quarters of a mile--all up hill--to our house.  Not the run I wanted for today, but I was happy to learn more about the bike path.  So overall a good run.

I've got to start running at a different time.  The afternoon is just getting too hot.  But, it's sooo hard to get up in the mornings.  Maybe I'll endure the heat.

Today Will and I dropped a Father's Day card off at the post office and then turned around on the bike path bridge I missed yesterday.  (I was definitely too caught up in the path yesterday (a tunnel was coming up) and just ran right by the turn off for the bridge.)  I enjoyed today's run.  I had good energy throughout the run.

I took a break from running today and jumped rope.  I did two minute intervals with a minute rest in between five times.  I alternated between normal jumping, running in place, and high knees.  The high knees were intense!

I worked out today.  I did six different exercises for one minute each three times with no rest.  The exercises included the wall sit, the plank, triceps (each side), calf raises, and rowing cruch.

I wasn't excited about today's run, but I did get out the door.  Will and I ran three on the bike path.  I felt very slow and sore.

 

Accomplishments this week:

1) Ran four times!

2) Exercised all six days!

I don't think I over did it.  I don't remember the last time I ran four times in one week--probably last fall.

 

For next week:

1) Run four times again.  Stay at the 3 and 3.5 distance.  Look for ways to enjoy the runs.

2) Exercise all six days.  Add an ab workout to the jump session.  Stretch more.

3) Get to bed early.
