Ran "easy" but it felt hard.  Not sure if it is the humidity or this detox.  Aubree ran an extra mile than me pushing a stroller with two kids!

Felt horrible.  Had to take tons of walking breaks!  Legs felt like lead.  I had a constant dull pain around my heart/lungs.  Ran on an empty stomach from a week of minimal calories from the detox.  NOT Smart!  Spent the day in bed recovering.  Never doing that again!

Aubree and I ran the first 4 a little under 9min pace.  The last 3 miles were at 8:26.  I met at her house at 6am.  The sun was rising.  No need for a headlamp and the temperature was perfect around 64!  We finished the run with a few rain drops!  I felt GREAT!  What a difference from Saturdays run!  NUTRITION plays a HUGE role for me in how I feel!

This is how I remember my running schedule by day of the week:

Sunday - Sabbath/Rest 

Monday - Mental health run/ Easy

Tuesday - Training/ Speed

Wednesday - West/ Rest pronounced with a /w/ 

Thursday - Training/ pace

Friday - Fun/ light and easy

Saturday - Steady/ long

Tried running with Kate next to me on the bike.  She did really well.  We stopped a few times.  Not because of her but because I kept running in to people and stopped to talk.  Still always feels good to run!

 This was supposed to be a hill workout.  Here is what actually happened.  

Attempts at a training run with Aubree Hunter, 6 kids, 4 bikes, and a double stroller. Goal 8 miles. Actual 5 miles with a few stops -first stop - the Enrollment office to register kids for school. A couple crashes, two popped tires, a few scraped knees, and tears. The second break was needed to raise morale - Market Basket for pizza and then the Farmhouse for ice-cream. Next, we saw all the neighbors in Mr. Rogers Neighborhood - the firemen, the garbage man, the mailman, & the delivery truck...Lastly, we stopped to pick and eat crabapples. I'm not sure it was much of a run but it was an adventure for sure! 

 At least we are trying.  I'm giving us an A for Effort on this run!

fun running Echo with Mark.  Running in the middle of the day wipes me out though.

This was a really FUN run.  Aubree and I ran all over town.  Instead of GU I packed my debit card and we stopped at Kroger, Booth Park, Einstein's, and Trader Joes for our energy breaks. I figure that a GU is about 1 penny per calorie.  I got a better value buying oranges, banannas, and bagels on the go.  Plus, it was nice to eat REAL FOOD.
