My goal for this week is 30 miles. I felt pretty good today. It felt like the first day that my running form felt a little tighter instead of all over the place. I ended up with 7:35 average. Nice morning! And way to go Emma Coburn for a bronze medal in the steeplechase in an AR time. Couple that with thre American women in the top ten in the marathon, and I would say the American women are killing it in Rio.

Five miles 7:40 average up and around Valley Park. I did some zumba at home with youtube, but it's not the same as being in class.

I'm running So Jo Half Marathon in October, so I'm trying to slowly build my stamina. I'm running it with my brother in law for fun. It will mostly be just a long run that day. But, I'm looking forward to it! It will help keep me training and working my body back into shape.

I was up really early nursing Cali. I decided to go to the gym rather than run in the dark. I ran an easier effort, but a little longer. 6.1 miles.

I bit the bullet and got on the scale to see how much work I have to do to lose the baby weight. 138 pounds. 18 pounds to lose. It's going to take awhile. But, on the positive side, I gained 38, so 20 down already.

A little shorter today, but my first week of daily running. 4.25 miles at 7:33 average. When I got home I did a 30 minute tabata workout. Myles did it with me.

Needed a Zumba fix, so went to the gym instead of running. Fun class!
