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.

With Lindsay and Jackie. Our "group" is getting weird right now. Hurt feelings cause we can't all go at the same time nor do we want to go at the same time.

I wore shorts and  T but, it was colder than I expected. It was foggy too.

Spent ALL day at Disneyland yesterday. My legs were tired this morning.

My 2 yr old was sooooo cute visiting the Princesses. Cindrellla is her favorite! She almost knocked Ariel down when she ran into her arms to hug her. She asked each of them if she could see their shoes. SO CUTE!!!

We run a loop around a park. There is some down hill and some up hill. They don't balance each other out because there is more down than up. I feel like we are cheating but it is the most convenient place to run our repeats at. I am guessing on a track we would be 6:30-35.

During the last repeat on the up hill I couldn't get my legs to move.
