Just an easy 4 miles at an average of 9:14 pace.  The run was okay and the pace felt nice.  It is a nice day outside, but the sun was a little much for my eyes.  Tomorrow I will wear shades.

I started off with 2 miles slow (average 9:30) and then felt that if I didn't pick up the pace I wouldn't want to continue running.  So then my next two miles averaged 8:30 and my last mile was 8:50.

Then I took the kids to the park and Dairy Queen.  Yum!

I was thinking about a lot when I was on this run--lots of decisions to make soon and another one was added yesterday.  I had a looooong conversation with my mom before I ran, so I got off to a late start.  I'm not a fan of running after dinner, but oh well.

 Since I was thinking about other stuff, I wasn't thinking about running.  I ended up averaging 8:18 per mile on this run and it actually felt easy, probably because I wasn't thinking about it.  After I did 4 miles I thought I'd do an easy mile, and that one ended up at 8:18 pace too.  I guess that's good.

For some reason I have been getting a lot of charlie horses and muscle cramping (legs and feet!) this week.  I haven't had any diet change, so I'm wondering if it stems (at least partly) from my inactivity last week.  At any rate, I'm switching to bananas as my fruit of choice today.  Hopefully that will help.

My first 1/2 mile, I went with the kids to the park, one kid on a scooter, the other in the jogging stroller.  The second 1/2 mile, was home with one kid on a scooter, one kid running next to me, and the other in the jogging stroller.  I magically sprouted a kid on the way home (my nephew).  This was obviously slow.

Then later (MUCH later) I went for an easy 3 miles.
