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.

AM: "No more trouble zones" DVD  AWESOME!! This is one of the best workout DVD's I have ever come across. My abs are getting super strong and I cant wait to see what that does for my running.

Afternoon: 3 mile walk to and from beach. I took the kids down to the beach today and we decided to walk. Going down was great, coming back not so fun. The kids were tired.

PM: 3 miles. They weren't all easy but not sure how to break it up.

 2min @ 3.0, 1min 6.5, 7.0, 7.5,8.0 (repeated 5x), 1min 9.0, Walked for cool down to equal 3 miles.

I was supposed to run with my neighbor Julianna today but her baby still hadn't woken up and she needed to hang around to feed her. SO.. I ran solo today and it was really nice. Somedays you just need to be in your own head.

I decided I would work on my turnover. I told myself to let my legs do the work.. think about form and think about my legs going just a bit faster. I was really pleased with the results considering that I really haven't been running a ton of miles lately. I was also a little suprised the speed did not feel to hard. Yeah!!!

Noboday passed me today!!! There was a guy who came up on me close to the end of my run but I started talking to him so he couldn't pass me. I am SNEAKY!!! 

Splits (warm up and cool down miles)

9:13, 7:49, 7:47, 7:46, 8:59
