First I ran up Twin peaks road. It was a beautiful morning run. I felt really good and my pace was 7:55 even though half of it was up hill.

After I got back I took the kids out running again. This time they were a little more whiny but after we got going they did really well particularly Chase. They were able to run a total of 0.8 miles with another 0.4 miles of walking.
