Stronger, Tougher, Faster, Smaller

I don't know about distance today.  Mostly we rode the quads around the property, but the baby quad(max weight 88 lbs) doesn't make it up my parents driveway with an adult on it.  So I got to run next to it while my two year old powered it up the hill.  See, more hills, can't get away.

3 miles today before we head out and go see fairytale town, the sacramento zoo , and maybe head into the jelly belly factory for a tour and free samples:)

32 minutes for the first two miles together. 1.5 was up and up, my calves are screaming, as soon as I started an incline they hurt so bad, but I kept going and then it was only a little over 10 minutes for the last mile as a came down the hills.  I didn't want to go too fast but was more afraid of braking too much and getting hurt that way.

And I ran up the whole hill driveway moster to the end(I haven't made it to the very top this trip). 

GOOSE EGG

MN-8am, 8 hours of sleep

8-9:30, getting everyone dressed and car packed (no little brother to watch kids, everybody else left at 4am)

9:30am-11:30pm, driving-it takes a lot longer when you are by yourself with a 4yr old and 2yr old you have to stop for everything.  But I am back, and this will be a very big exception to the rule of 6 days a week. 

two treadmill miles. started at a 12:30 to warm up, ended at 10:40. Total time 23:18. Ran in the dark so nobody could see me through the windows, blinds were broken and the new ones have not been hung up yet.

I scored a deal of jelly belly sport beans while I was in the factory in CA.  I got them for about 50 cents a bag.  Anybody want any let me know, I came home with more than we can use.

Another late run out and around the fitness center and back.  I think I am going to avoid that route if I go out in the evenings again.  There are so many people there and the observers sometimes have a tendency to smoke next to the track.  No thanks, there is enough pollution in the air for me to breathe.

Do you ever get the feeling that you are going slower and slower?  This week has been so hard on me and I feel like I am falling behind in speed even though my mileage is okay.  Maybe in a week or so I will feel better when I am back into my normal routines and eating habits.

I averaged 12:30 and my legs felt so tired.  UGH, I dont know.  Tomorrow is an early morning run with Leslie! Yeah! Can't wait to run and talk. 

Ran on the Parkway with Leslie.  I can't keep a decent pace and talk I am realizing.  It's been a hard week for me.  Everything has been a bit slower.  We had a nice run and Leslie was definitely having an easier time with it, but that's okay, I'll catch up soon I hope :)

Total time 1:07 (Potty stop included) 

5.7 in 1:15.  I ran with locomotion some today.  My plan was to run mostly down emigration not up but Kelly was there and she was on here way down so I started running up to meet her then ran all the way down to hogle zoo.  It was a fun great run, uphill was definitly my slowest mile but then consistently ran a little faster every mile until I finish at 11:17.

I am going to try to get 2.25 miles in tonight so that I actually break 20 miles this week and be on track for 22 miles next week.
