My husband had to leave town again today.  I am going to go crazy!  I was able to go get new running shoes yesterday. Since my husband was going to be gone again all week and I get all the kids I decided to go check out fleet feet before I drove to Orem and then had my kids running all over the place. I think they acually did a very good job. 

I got my kids down to the park about noon and ran/ walked the track for 3.50 miles.  I pretty much ran a lap and then walked one for 45 minutes. The stroller I have to way to low or something.  I had a hard time running with it and even steering it, but the wind was blowing as well.  My knee felt really good so that is a plus.  I don't think the lack of sleep and added stress helps with my energy at all.   I won't get into my allergies and all the dust that gets kicked up from this wind lately.  I have a horriable cough tonight from running around in the wind.  

I did get on the treadmill just so I could try a faster run.  I ran a mile in 9 minutes, and then I slowed down for the next .50.  I could feel my knee is a little sore but it seemed to make a world of diffrence getting new shoes. Or maybe it is because I have had a couple days off.

Glad to hear the knee is feeling better. Hand in there, having the hubby gone is tough.
