I think I'm coming down with a chest cold.  I took several breaks today to get my breathing right.  On the plus side, doing the roller didn't hurt my IT band at all-just felt a little sore.  Yeah!  Did .25 mile warm-up, jogged 1.25 miles, walked .25 miles, jogged 1 mile, then did a .5 mile cool down.  Total time was 34:46.

Feeling slightly better today, but definitely feeling the chest cold.  I didn't want to push it so I broke up the jogging with walking.  Did .5 mile warm-up, jogged 1 mile, walked .5 mile, jogged 1 mile, then did .25 mile cool down.  I really hope this cold goes away fast!  Still can't breathe at all during the night.  Total time was 35:34

I actually slept last night!  For the first time in over a month I wasn't waking up every 20 minutes because I couldn't breathe.  I think the cold is almost over, thank goodness!  The cough is still annoying, but I'll take it over the clogged but dripping nose any day.  Since I felt better today I tried another approach to the run.  Did .25 mile warm up, jogged 1.25 miles at 6.0 mph, then took it down a notch every lap until I ran a total of 2.9 miles.  Then I did a .6 mile cool down.  Total time was 38:09.

Today was my best run in a while.  I have discovered that I have to take a potty break so I can keep running though-the baby really likes to bounce on my bladder and it doesn't help with the run.  Did a .25 mile warm-up, jogged 1.25 miles, took a potty break, jogged 1.50 miles at 6.1 mph, then did a .5 mile cool down.  Total time was 36:34.

Didn't go running today, but we did take the kids on their very first hike to Stewart Falls.  The kids did much better than we expected for the most part-the girls didn't complain at all on the 2 miles in, and on the 2 miles back they just slowed down a little, but never really complained.  I'm definitely feeling the hike, but it was totally worth it!  The kids had a blast and we made some fun memories.
