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!

3 miles on the treadmill.  Average pace=9:00/m.  Then 6 miles around the neighborhood.  Weather=49F, 12mph wind, cloudy. Average pace=8:48/m.

My husband has the flu so he was home from work today.  Hopefully no one else in the family will get it!!   When my two year old went down for a nap and my four year old was watching a video, I got dressed to go run.  I stepped outside and the misty cold and said, "uh...I don't think so."   I came back inside and ran on the treadmill instead.  However, three miles into it, I was burning up! I decided I could run outside afterall.  I even wore a t-shirt and felt fine.

4.6 miles at 1pm around the neighborhood pushing Ryan in the running stroller.  Average pace= 9:55/m.   Came home and dropped him off and went immediately back out for another 4.6 miles (same route) by myself.  Average pace=8:48/m.   Weather was perfect!  55-60F, 10mph wind, sunny.  

 Great day!  My husband is still home sick again so I got to run during the day.  Now Jake is coming down with it.  I hope I don't get the flu too.  I'm just starting to get more consistent with my running again.  Ryan and I so far are not sick yet.  Fingers crossed!!!

6.4 miles at 6:15pm.  Weather=60F, 8mph wind, dark.  Average pace=8:25/m.

Met up with Ashley and Tim.  It was a challenging run for me because we talked non-stop and there were a few hills.  The 8:25 pace felt like 8:00 or 7:50 did a few months ago. I'm still trying to get back the fitness that I lost after taking so much time off.  It was fun though!  I love my running partners!  Tim and I got our official notifications for NYC Marathon!  Woo Hoo!   

No worries.  I'll get there.  My feet are all banged up though.  The bottoms of them feel bruised!  I guess I'll be building back up all my caluses.
