Ran 3 miles around the town with Dustin pushing Jarren in the stroller.  Time: Humm.......Let's just say I will just keep to myself and say that I am glad I got out and ran.  Since I have not ran since the first part of Nov.  Very nice day here.  I am glad to have got out and ran some.

Just decided to go run today since the weather is wonderful! I haven ran in like 2 months so it was a slow run for me. I ran my usual 5K loop around town pushing Jarren in the jogging stroller. Time: 34:35 I hope I can get it together and start back to running and getting back into shape like I was before.

Wow! Good job. I think if you can get into a routine you should think about running the 5K on the same day as the Hurricane Half. You did really good with that last year and had fun, so maybe that would be something to work toward.

Holy HOT!!!  I didn't think I needed to say that the 1st of March!  But it is a warm one today!  Ran with Jarren in the stroller the same 5K loop around town as the other day.  It is actually 3.2 distance I took Dustin's garmin to measure.  I was just guessing the other day.  Time: 34:43 (I forgot to stop the time while I was waiting to cross the busy street)

Ran the Hurricane Half 5K race this morning.  Did pretty good.  Time: 28:33  Took 14th overall and 2nd in my age division.  They started the race farther back than last year so I think it was a bit longer than the 3.1 miles.  But most races are off sometimes.  Glad I went and ran it.

You need to figure out how to add the shoe tracker feature now on your blog. What you can do is just put these 3.1 miles under Defyance, then go back and look at all your other miles from this year and last year and put them under Glycerin.

Got up to me the ladies a 6 AM again. They were not there so I waited to see if they were just running late. They never came so maybe I was late. I drove around the route that they run did not see them so I went back home to get the ipod. Since I was up and ready I better go run anyway by myself. Started off running the 5k loop I like to do around town. I happen to run into them so I turned around and ran with them. I only got 3 mile in before they were done but that was fine with me. They had forgot that I was going to run with them and they had changed their running route.

2 mile loop pushing Jarren in stroller.  Jansen jogged with us the first .5 miles to school. After 1 mile in my sister drove by and I stopped to chat a bit with her. I had just ran through the center and main intersection.  So we chat and then a sheriff stopped right by us for minute and just sat there then all of a sudden he turned on his full set of flashing lights and got out and started walking all cocky towards us.  I asked him What's the problem.  He smirked ans said what's the problem you don't know what the problem is.  I said No we don't we are just talking here.  He said well your blocking the intersection on a main road.  My sister said we are in small town La Verkin not a car has even passed us for the last 20 minutes.  He said to her if you are going to get smart with me I will write you up.   He ran even ran her car license plates.   What a joke he finally left after being such a cocky jerk!!  I guess he had nothing better to do than harass small town people.  We are talking small town too!!

Anyway that was my fun for the day!

I waited for it to warm up a bit to go run but I think I waited  a bit to long.  I was burning up. High 80's for the forecast today!!

I ran 4 miles around town.  The same loop I usually run but added some more to it to make it 4 miles.  Had Jarren with me in the stroller.  He snoozed the entire run.  I felt pretty good.  My knees kept locking up for some reason though but I survived.  I took the garmin so I would know how far I went and splits. Quite to workout for me.  Keeping in mind Jarren is 3 and weighs about 27 lbs.
