Total Distance
7.90

Well at least when I do a new little route I am never shorting my miles and end up with a little extra. 6.4 miles in 1:18 (12:17 avg) not too bad. Ran 2.5 miles with lisa and had fun chatting. Mile 3 had a potty stop. Whenever I think about running I dread it but then I go do it and it feel good and I don't mind it.

Weight change: none (okay not true it was +.2 but I consider insignificant and therefore doesn't count-because the potty stop happened AFTER I weighed in)

 1.5 in the afternoon with the kids in the stroller.  Had a great time at the park.  Also, this is so exciting......I put on my first pair of skinny pants :)  I have much skinnier pants I will work my way into but I've made my first step.  They fit just right with even a bit of give yeah!

Excellent average! WAy to go! Great weight! I have found that most of my potty stops are atleast a 1/2 pound. So by that calculation- you are down at least a 1/4, maybe more, if it was a potty poopie stop :) Sorry- the Tigger is popping out ;)
