Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom. I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed. I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011. I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs. When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time. After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022. I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

6.5 miles at 3pm at the Trinity trails pushing the double running stroller. Weather=45ish, partly cloudy. Average pace=10:40/m

I haven't run with the double stroller in a while. It is much more difficult than the single stroller. Jake is about 40 pounds and he bounced his feet the whole time and Ryan is about 30 pounds and he leaned forward for most of it. I had to hold it with both hands the whole time to keep it going straight. There were many twists and turns and short little hills along the river. At first I was pretty frustrated with running like that but then I decided to not think of it as running. Instead think of it as an arm/cardio workout. It was an arm workout for sure! My arm muscles were on fire! Eventually, I got into a good rhythm and it was fun. Boys did very well.
