I did the 4X1 mile workout again on the treadmill.  After running outside yesterday my throat felt covered in grossness and I thought I might be found dead with x's across my eyes if I spent too much more time sucking in poisonous fumes.  I went at a 6:49 pace again and I felt much more tired this time.  I think its just all a part of trying to get back in shape.

I went to the gym after I put all of the kids to bed except the baby.  I expected the baby to still be awake when I got back, but I was surprised to see my 3 year old sitting between his grandma and grandpa on the couch - the stinker.  Actually, I feel kind of bad because he had a hard time falling asleep and then was scared when he couldn't find me.  That's the sort of thing that makes it hard for this Mom to keep running with intensity.  Its not always easy to find the balance between meeting my goals and making sure I'm not burdening others as I do it.  I'll just have to stay aware I guess...onward and upward.
