I ran with my dad this morning so he pushed the stroller.  It was funny to me when he felt the difference it makes pushing Anna.  She is 30 lbs and even on the flat ground, thats an extra 30 lbs.  We ran out to the LaVerkin stake center and back.  We ran 9's or right around there.  I enjoy running with him because he does push me to go faster.  Good to be running!!!

You still planning on doing Bryce in July? Looks like you're doing great with your training. Pushing Anna will pay off big-time!

Yep, I am gonna do Bryce. I was reading their web site yesterday and it said you have to finish by 9 which is 3 hours. Even if I have to walk I should be able to do that no problem. I have to get at least a 10 mile in before that, if I don't, I will definately change my mind about running.
