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.

Got up at 6 but was moving kinda slow this morning and did not start my run until 6:50am.I should have gotten up an hour earlier, it started getting hot after the first half hour.  I felt really great on my run today, the miles just rolled by so smooth and easy.  I enjoyed myself and tried to stay cool.  Stopped at every water fountain along the trail and drank and doused myself.  This seemed to keep me going strong till the end.  I feel ready for my 1/2 in two weeks, crossing my fingers that it is a little cooler that day then it was today.

Ran with my friend again.  This time we brought her baby in the jogging stroller and I pushed it for her.  This added some nice resistance and help even things out a bit since she goes at a slower pace.  Can't believe how hot it is, can we please get some cooler weather for my half next weekend.

Had a nice workout this morning running hill repeats. 1 mile warmup, then 6X the mother of all hills.  Then 1 mile cool down sorta, threw in a fartlek and the end there and that was fun.  I'm feeling good about this workout today cuz last time I tried this hill I could only make it 5 times up and down.
