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.

Ran 3.5 in the hot sun.  Felt good to go a little faster today, and also I was able to clean the tar and rocks off the bottom of my shoes so this run went much better.  Can't wait to get out there again tomorrow.  Husband made a snow cone for me when I got home, and that was a great way to cool down.

Did 5 miles and it felt great.  Two slower uphill, then one fast coming down.  Then two more slow ones and that's it. Ran in the evening air just at sunset and it was picture perfect.

Had a really nice long run today, really enjoyed it.  Felt great, lots of energy after a small pizza binge for lunch.  Guess all those carbs made good running fuel.  Ran on the murdock canal trail and there were lots of people on it today out for some fun.  The weather was not the best, got sprinkled on a little and had a strong head wind the whole 5 miles back.  But at least it was not too hot and the cooler air felt good.  My feet felt great, I knew these new nike vomeros would be great for long runs.  Hmm..  time to go eat something.  I feel pretty hungry after burning over 1100 calories.
