Another little running date with Symphany in the stroller. We ran to the stake center and then back to the park. Total time was faster than last time at 17:59 (8:10/mile). Probably because this run was in the afternoon instead of the morning.

A little longer run with Symphany in the stroller.  She enjoyed it, but I was feeling it by the end.  It wasn't my legs or lungs but my shoulders from pushing the stroller the whole time.  Total time was 32:18 (8:30/mile).

I've had a cold the past few days and finally felt okay to get out for a run.  Did 3 miles around the golf course.  It felt pretty good.  Total time was 23:57 (7:59/mile).

I tried a different course tonight and enjoyed it.  I ran to Wal-mart going on the back roads, and it was a nice run.  Total time was 26:39 (7:36/mile).  Met my family there for some shopping and then rode home with them.

A nice run with Symphany. We stopped to look at the foxes in the field near the church. She loves to point out the birds and bunnies and other wildlife on our runs. Total time was 31:37 (8:19/mile).

I ran the Grease monkey loop backwards which meant that the hills were closer to the end of the run.  It felt good though.  Total time was 33:06 (7:52/mile).

Ran to the stake center and back to the park with Symphany.  Then we headed home and I headed back out for 3 more miles by myself.  It felt good.  Total time was 40:04 (7:42/mile).  I pushed it the last half mile or so to try and finish under 40 minutes and to get back in time for school.
