Running in the Rockies

Okay - let's try and start this week out right!  I'm shooting for a fiver this week.  Five runs.  Still short - 2-3 miles - but consistent.  You can all hold me to it this week.  No more of this slackin' !!!!

I'm not so bright these days - this is the 2nd night in a row that I haven't started running until after 10:00 at night.  Brilliant, eh?  Luckily I'm only going 2 miles - unfortunately, my kids still wake up at 6:30.  : (

These late night runs have got to stop!  You'd think I'd learn!

Happy day!  I finally ran during the daylight hours.  : )   Mike was working in his office downstairs, Cami was watching her favorite TV show and Hayley was still napping -- so I took Audrey in our running stroller (it's actually dual use - it's also a bike trailer).  It was tough, but nice to get outside ... and before 10pm.  My average pace was 12:10 - and I was surprised it was that fast!  It's really hard to push a stroller while running!  I can't imagine how Lybi did it so often last summer with TWO children in the Phoenix heat!  Amazing. Lybi, you're my hero.  ; )

Another late night-er, but at least I stuck to my goal this week.  Five run -- no matter what.  Thanks to all of you for keeping me to my goal; it's always hard getting back into the rhythm of consistent running when you've had to take time off.

PT update:  My hips are moving correctly, according to my physical therapist.  She thinks the new pains I have occasionally are because muscles that had become weak (due to incorrect alignment) are having to strengthen and stretch.  Hopefully I will continue to improve.  I don't have pain while I run, but around the house - the step and twist motion sometimes smarts.   

 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you wonderful women who impact the world in positive ways everyday!!
