Personal:

 I have been a runner off and on since I was a kid.  Its something I have always loved and hope to be running until I'm just too old to do it anymore.  I enjoy running some 5ks and halfs each year and try to be consistent with my training.  But I often find it challenging with three kids to get all the miles in that I want to.

I love my kids so much, but running really is my sanity and I enjoy my "me" time.  I may just be forever a "middle of the pack" runner but have hopes of getting faster.

Total Distance
5.20

I was planning on doing four but ended up doing 5, despite it being just plain gusty out.  I'm not much for running in the wind, but it really was my own fault.  Had the alarm set for this morning to get up and run, and it was perfect out this morning.  I was the one who hit the off button and rolled over and went back to sleep.  So its my own fault I was stuck running in the wind this evening.  I still managed to have a decent run and really picked up speed on the fourth mile when the wind was to my back.

Gotta love a good tail wind! Nice job getting out despite the sleep in this morning :)
