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.

Just got home from Sacramento this afternoon and swam in the pool with the kids for awhile. Ran 10 on the TM had to give myself a time limit so I wouldn't drag it out forever. I really struggle running on the TM. So not fun!!!!!

Trying to call this day a victory cause I listened to my body instead of doing my planned workout.

Was planning on doing 4x1600 @ 6:40 pace. Did the first one and felt terrible and almost puked. I haven't bailed on a workout for a long time so I feel like a failure but I keep trying to remind myself I listened to my body and my body was saying "NOT TODAY"!

Jackie and I ran easy and just put the miles in but we both had a hard time just doing that!

Blessing: Our new swimming pool. It was just finished a few weeks ago and with it being over 100 this week we are loving it. It has a super fun rock slide built into our hill. It is fast!

Set out to do a 6 mi tempo run at 7:19. Didn't happen... it was so hot this morning with 100% humidity. Did the best I could and hung on as long as I could. I think what we should have done was lower our expectation on how fast we should have done the tempo and then maybe we could have hung on all 6 miles.

Maybe instead of 7:19 we should have hung around 7:45

Splits 7:19, 7:14, 7:25, 7:44

Blessing: lots of family visitors this month. I can't wait to see everybody:)

With Jackie. It was warm but not as humid as yesterday. I felt pretty good but feeling a bit dissapointed in speedwork for the week.
