Seven mile trail run with my running girls...  Probably trade tomorrow's long run with this one as we're going to be feeling some of this run by then :)  

Abs!

Took the girls out for 5 miles today, they finished strong at an 8:27 pace, pretty good for doing their first trail run yesterday, I sure felt my legs a little :)

Jump roped for 20 minutes afterwards!

My girls have ran 117 miles in their first 7 weeks of running group.  Two years ago when we started, it took them about 4 months to run 80 miles, these girls are on fire, I'm so proud! They'll probably finish their school year at 300 miles with me this year.

Forgot I told Janet I'd run the PF Chang 1/2 with her again until she asked on Sunday, less than two weeks away, yikes.  I wasn't sure how a 10 miler would even be for me as I've been focused on my running girls' races instead of my own.  Did fine though, an 8:24 pace is very average for me, so I'll sign up, ALWAYS a ton of fun with Janet and this race :)

Ab work-out!

Finally a full rest day for me, it's been a while!  I'm trying to keep it low before another long run to be sure I don't injure myself.  Isabelle and Victoria have another offer the same weekend as Mtn. to Ftn., I hope they choose the race instead of camp, but we'll see, the camp sounds like a BLAST!!

Awesome race today!  The course changed a little ending at Tempe Park Beach instead of the ASU Sun Devil stadium, so a few changes from last years route!  This year I decided to stop at each water stop in prayer for my pastor, pray for him and family members at each mile marker, and pray at each band spot for Brian.  It was so awesome to be in prayer instead of in "my time", I've never ran a race in this way before.  My race was truly a blessing to me in so many ways...  I ended up finishing better than I thought I would as I don't usually stop at all water stops and had to make a pit stop on mile two to pee (again)!  Last year I finished in 1:44:31 with maybe one or two water stops, so this year's 1:46:23 with all stops, pee stop + route change, I think I did pretty darn good :)

Ran hills this morning with running group... awesome!  Jump roped & arm weights once home.

Last work-outs before vacation, not sure how much I'll fit in during the next two weeks, but of course will take my running shoes, weight bands & jump rope...  :)
