Wife of an avid runner.

Monday again...time to add 1/4 mile to my normal run.  Was able to finish whole 3 mile run at 5mph.  Tried to focus more on my form today running more on my toes than heel to toe.  Did a 1/2 mile walk.  I think my endurance is improving though it is still quite boring on the TM.

Did push-ups and sit-ups.

Walked to a restaurant with the kids for a lunch bunch and back.  Sounds weak I know, but I did push a stroller and it's a good up-hill all the way back.  It was a beautiful day and the kids loved getting out.  I let them stop at the video store on the way home and pick out a wii game to play when we got back.  

Happy St. Patrick's Day!   The kids woke up at 4 am this morning to check and see if they'd caught a Leprauchaun in their Leprauchaun trap they had made.  He got away but left them Lucky Charms and green milk.  Then I had to give them a bowl and send them back to bed. 

Walked 1/2 mile, ran 3.  Ran 1.5 at 5mph and 1.5 at 6mph.  I do feel like I'm getting stronger but still every day it's hard for me to finish my run.  There's no such thing as an easy 3 miles for me yet.

Ran the whole 3 miles at 5mph today with .5 mile walk. Had to stop just once to clean out my son's throw up bowl.

Once again, Ran 3miles at 5mph and walked .5 mile.  My stomach wasn't feeling great when I woke up this morning and my 1st thought was "how am I going to do my run?"  I started a little later than usual, but thankfully I made it without having to take any breaks.  Though my stomach is still tight, at least I got my run in!

I don't get to log a race report like the rest of my family since I was on kid duty.  It was a fun day though.  The kids ran the 200m and Matt ran the 10K.  Everyone did great.  Then we went out for lunch at Carl's Jr.  When we got home I changed into my running clothes and Matt dropped me off at the temple and I ran home.  There was one stretch of a pretty good uphill but the majority was downhill.  I also had a pretty strong headwind which wore me out faster but did a better job of keeping me cool than my treadmill fan.  Overall I did a split of  10:49.  For me that is really good!  I'm still trying to work up to being able to do a 5K with a split of 10:00 or under...I think I'm getting closer.  I guess especially if it was a flat course because that uphill about killed me.   First thing in the morning would probably also help because I slow down the later it gets.  It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time...I think I need a nap now though.
