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.

Took two days off and gave my right foot a little rest, its been acting up a bit.  It felt much better on todays run. One mile warmup, three mile tempo.  Last mile wasn't really a cool down, but it was uphill and slower.  Got some new tank tops for running and so far they are pretty good. It feels strange to run in something new, I'm such a creature of habit with my running wardrobe.  I seldom switch it up.

Went easy on myself and just did a comfortable 3 miles.  Happy National Running Day to everyone.  I'm pretty sure there were a bunch more people than usual out on the trail tonight.

I tried a new kind of workout today, thanks for runners world magazine.  I found the biggest hill in the neighborhood and did hill repeats.  Its a quarter mile long with 140 ft gain, and I did it up and down 5 times.  Did a mile or so warm-up and cool down and that was a great workout.  My legs felt a little like jelly after I was done, which is not usually how they feel.  So I think I must have worked them in a new way, how exciting.
