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.

With Jon. Still in Sacramento. I have not been able to get my legs to move very fast this week. It has been over 105 every day and I am on VACA so I am trying to give myself a pass.

Yesterday I went to Costco with all four of my kids. When we got back to our suburban we discovered it had been broken into and they stole the back seats!!!!! They took the entire bench out of the back!!!!! I was the first parking spot after the handicap spaces!!! No one saw anything!!! CRAZY!!!!! The store manager told me it was the second one in four days!!!!

SO ANNOYING!!!!

I have done so poorly on speedwork for several weeks. I have either given up in the middle or just not done it. Today was the first day back. 

The first two miles felt easy... I had to work for the last 4.

I wanted to average 7:30 so I'm happy with the result 

Splits 7:27, 7:24, 7:22, 7:27, 7:29, 7:16 

Before my bought of bad tempo's I clocked two 6 mile tempos at 6:55 average.

I wonder if the 20 degrees in temp change is the difference or if the 6:55's were just really good days for me.
