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.

4 on the indoor track, 3 slow, 1 fast at the end.  It felt good to run after 2 days off.  Had to start really slow as I could feel my legs still recovering from my Sat. long run.  I know I pushed it going 15 when I probably should have only done 10.  I survived it, but had some soreness to recover from.  I thought about Boston a lot while I was running, its a hard thing to get out of your head.  It's just so sad and unfair.

Went out for a quick run before the celebrations begin for my daughters birthday, she is turning 5 today.  We are taking her out for a day of fun.  Did two kinda slow, and one kinda fast, then the .6 was medium.  Just so chilly out this morning I didn't feel like I really got very warmed up.  And my legs feel so cold when I got back home, look forward to warmer days.

My first run as a 32 year old.  7 miles, I felt old and slow.  Probably because I ate to much birthday cake and dinners out for three days in a row.
