Today was a crazy day with the kids! I was so glad to get out the door tonight to be by myself and pound my stresses away. My running was derailed last week by a nasty flu bug that hit our house. I did run, but missed blogging.
Tonight was perfect weather. I could feel just a touch of fall in the air. I wasn't able to run this morning, so I went when Teren got home from work. I warmed up 10 minutes and then ran 10 sets of 3 minutes hard, two minutes easy. It was an out and back route down 4800 S to the river trail, out to Bulion, and back. I hit the 5 mile mark in just under 33 minutes. I ran 35:00 out, and 34:57 back, so I stayed pretty consistent. It was beginning to get dark after I hit the turn around. That always makes me a little nervous, so maybe that was a motivator to run a little faster. It was nice to run and forget the fact that my supposedly potty-trained three-year-old pooped his pants twice in the middle of Wal-mart. Ah, motherhood! |
