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!

8 miles at 1pm.  Weather=60ish, 12mph wind gusting to 20mph, cloudy.  Average pace=9:28/m.

 My four year old went to my sister's house today.  I took my 2 year old with me to the Trinity Trails and pushed him in the running stroller.  He is so good!  He just sits in the seat and enjoys the ride.  My four year old has always been harder in the stroller.  He gets bored and wants to get out after awhile.   LOL

I was only going to do 6 but I was feeling good, Ryan was acting great and it was a great day so I went out 4 miles before I turned around to head back to the car.

After I turned around I realized why it was such an easy run the first four miles... the wind was at my back the whole time.  Once I started going back to the car, I had to push the stroller against the wind all the way back.  Actually, it only sucked for the first mile until I got used to it.   I maintained a constant pace even against the wind.  Good workout!  Legs felt great!  My plantar fasciitis only bugs me after I stop running.

The stroller pushing must be good for increasing the strength in your legs...kinda like doing a leg workout in the gym! Nice run!!!
