Work out with Grinders in the AM. 3 x 1000 meters shooting for 4:25. Splits were: 4:36, 4:26, and 4:22. We then did a tempo run for 25 minutes I was going for a pace of 7:25/mile. my average pace for the 25 minutes was 7:24.

After I got back I took the kids running. Lucy and Chase were both able to run 0.25 miles without resting then we walked for 0.10 miles and ran for another 0.25 miles. We will see if we can get them ready for a 5k by 1/1/14.
