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 with Jackie at 2:30 in the afternoon. We drove home from Sacramento today. You would think since I live in CA it would be a short drive but.... 7 hours!!! Isn't that I little weird we live in the same state as my in-laws but it takes that long to get to their house? 

This run was HORRIBLE!!!!

We ran Masters and I let it get the better of me today. I made it up half way then started walking. About 30 seconds into my walk I made myself turn around and go back to where I started walking and run to the top. I sorta redeemed myself but still a little bugged I gave in in the first place.

My legs were on fire the entire run and my heart couldn't beat fast enough today. Really windy too.

3.5 mile WU... 5x800's with 400 recovery. I always walk these recoveries. Is that wrong?

800's... 3:05, 3:04, 3:04, 3:03, 3:02

Didn't pay close attention to watch ran by feel. SUPER happy with the consistency.

For .05 of the 800 we are running down hill so I figure I need to add 3 seconds to each repeat to make the time a bit more accurate.

Didn't really want to go but as always was fun to be with my friends. Used a GU. No matter how many times I use those things I still have to gag them down. As soon as I open the wrapper my throat tightens and I start to dry heeve.
