Fly me to the moon...

I ran 1.2 with my oldest in 15:24. We did some walking as well in the middle. She is trying cross country this year, but the school hasn't received her physical yet. I have been doing some running with her to try to get her into shape. This is the first sport she has ever done with the exception of dance classes when she was younger. I hope she enjoys it.

I ran my Walgreens short loop in 18:40 (7:28/mile) a little later. I had to mow the neighbors lawn first. With that plus the walking to take the kids to school and pick them up, my Wyze band registered 21,683 steps for the day. It claims it was 11.79 miles. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it was a lot nonetheless.

I ran around the park with my daughter, and then did some plyometrics with her. We were trying to replicate what her CC team did in practice. She couldn't run with them yet, but she watched.

After the workout with her, I ran my 3 mile school loop in 21:48 (7:16/mile). My legs have felt fine, but my neck and shoulders have been tight.

I decided to try something different today. While my oldest was at her YW meeting, I drove out to Loxa and started along the trail. A few months back, she had an activity where they walked along the trail in that section. I thought it looked good for a run. I had a half hour before I needed to head back to pick her up, so I decided to run out 15 minutes and then turn around. It was a nice section of the trail with the Sun setting. I ran past a golf course I never knew was there.
 

I wasn't sure how I would figure out my distance, but there was a road that crossed the trail at about the 15 minute mark. I figured my pace was about 7:30/mile making the road about 2 miles out. I picked up the pace on the way back and hit 29:08 (7:17/mile) for the 4 miles. I mapped the route after my run and it was 2 miles out to the road. I ran 15:06 on the way out and 14:02 on the way back. I felt like I was going faster than 7:01/mile on the way back. It was a slight uphill on the way back, and my mileage has been lower recently with my foot hurting, but it felt harder than it should have at that pace.

I didn't do any running, but I walked 4 miles total in dropping off our car and picking it up from the mechanic. I also did lots of walking taking kids to and from school as usual.

I did a little warmup with my oldest. Then we did some strides and a little cooldown. It was about 1.5 miles total. I then ran another 3.2 miles in 24:11 (7:33/mile). I felt fine.

Nothing for today. My oldest had a fever and chills. We hope it isn't Covid. She has a test tomorrow. She is vaccinated but the younger kids aren't.
