I did 2 runs today the first one was a family run. I pushed Lucy and Chase in the jogging stroller and Juli pushed Ella in the other stroller. I think it was pretty fair because I had the 2 heavier kids (100 lbs) and she didn't want to run very badly. we ran down Pima farms road, which is nice and flat. It is only a bout 1 mile down it, so I took some detours into the various neighborhoods and ran up scenic drive at the end. Juli's Phone said she did 2.2 miles and I did 3.5. I finished a little bit before her and went back to push her in the last little bit. It was fun to go out as a whole family though and the kids were happy to get out of the house after being cooped up all week d/t Lucy's sickness.

AP: 8:26/mile 

The second run was up the radiotower hill again. I made it 105 ft further up the road. I think I can make it all the way to the top of this in the next couple of weeks.

I'm jealous. I've been trying to get my whole family to go for a run for months now but the only one that ever wants to go is Sam.

Good job
