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.

Legs were so tired today. Don't know why. It is Youth Conference this weekend for our stake and I have 3 extra kids at my house. :)

I think the pace was a little under 9 for the 4 and 9:15 for the 2.

Easy miles. Ragnar this weekend. I am already so sad about leaving my baby!!! I have instructed my husband to only give her the breast milk that I have stock piled in the freezer no formula. That way I feel like she won't forget me!!!

RAGNAR HUNTINGTON TO CORONADO ISLAND

I Loved this race!!! I had so much fun with my friends!!!! Besides having to pump in the car since I am still breastfeeding, I loved everything about this race. I will be doing it again next year for sure.

My day started at 4:30 AM and basically I didn't sleep again until 10 PM Saturday night. I was completley exhausted to get up  for 9 AM church but it was so worth it.

8:15 AM Run - I was the first runner so it was so fun to start the race. 4.9 miles AP 8:22 Started out to fast but who doesn't at a race?

8:05 PM Run- Ran with a guy for 7 miles he was my protected on the 2.5 miles of trail running. Almost sprained my ankle like 7 times. There were also a ton of frogs croaking away. 9.3 miles AP 8:44

Last leg for the Ragnar.

5:47 AM Run...5.5 miles AP 8:48

This is the leg I am the most proud of. During the first mile 5 people passed me but my intent was to take the first mile slow and then see what happened. Along came a great big steep hill and the 4 men and 1 women that past me in the first mile I breezed past. Never to see them again after that. :) I am so proud of my splits too.

9:51, 8:41, 9:07 (big hill mile), 8:12, 8:28, 4:19 (last half mile 8:04 pace)

I am so excited that 5 months post giving birth I was able to AP under 9. It gives me encouragment to think that at SGM I might be able to get ready to run a 3:30. I would really love to run 3:30!!!
