Setbacks.  I developed a postpartum infection over the weekend.  I was pretty sick until the antibiotics kicked in.  So, a little backward step into my return to running.  

I ended up a touch farther than I planned today.  I ran 35 minutes, which turned out to be 4.5 miles exactly.  7:46 average.  Today was my first post-baby run down on the Jordan River Trail.  It was nice to expand my run outside of my neighborhood.  Beautiful morning!

I didn't run until after 10 this morning. It was hot! I was inspired by the totally insane Olympic women's 10k. Getting in shape after a long time off is hard, so I need to stay motivated. River Trail loop. I felt heavy and sluggish. 7:50 average.

The goal for my Saturday "long run" was 40 minutes.  I ran 42.  I felt stronger today than yesterday.  It probably helps that I ran a little earlier in the morning.  It feels good to be back running.  I listened to a podcast interview with Desi Linden.  I can't wait to see what she does in the marathon at the Olympics.  I'm glad the Olympics are on this week to keep me inspired.  

I ran by the SLCC, with the extended loop.  Back up 2200 W.  I'm glad that I'm starting to run as fall approaches.  It is the best time of the year to run.  5.4 miles 7:46 average.
