I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

Ran 2 with Jackie and 4 on my own.

Last 3 miles I told myself to run comfortably but push just a touch. I was surprised at my last 3 miles they felt pretty easy and I am super happy with the paces. I feel like muscle memory is starting to kick back in.

6 with Jackie. This was to be her long run for the week so we took it easy. Her baby is barely two months old. She is a rock star! My litte one will be 4 months old on the 14th. I can't believe it!!! Stop growing up!!!

Felt really good today. Ran lots of hills. I guess I always do because that is all there is around here. Took it easy and ran comfortable. I was happy with the pace for the effort.

80 degrees today. Does it make any of my friends jealous that my children were out on the slip n slide today? GOOD!! You have each other and all I have is the weather! LOL :)

Felt great!!!! I am surprised how quickly it is all coming back. I still need to take my comfortable pace down a bit but I am surprised to have gotten to 9 so easily. Gotta love that muscle memory.

I felt pretty sluggish today. Still got in 12 on my own.

Running at an easy pace has been pretty nice. I think I will start adding in speed work after Ragnar. My pace also seems to be naturally coming down as I continue to lose the baby weight. 7 more lbs. to go. :) I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel. It has not been easy to lose weight while nursing my little one.
