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.

I haven't made it out for a run yet today and not sure I will.

I am eating really good though

1. Multigrain Cheerios 2. Balance Bar + half a bag of gummy bears (shouldn't have eaten those), 3. Spinach Salad w/ fat free dressing 4. 1/2 apple and stick of cheese

I will post the rest when the day is done.

132.2 I am not happy about that

I will just have to work harder.

Not all easy miles but I don't want to break it up. Ran 4 hill sprints in the middle. Ran with a new girl today. She is a little faster than me so I am super excited. She will push me and she just moved here from Utah too. She is considering signing up for LA. That would be fun to have someone to run with.

130.2 YEAH!!!! Still got 5 to go.

So not EASY today!!! I felt like a new runner today. My legs were dead! I really hope it is not because I have cut back on my calories. I am finally eating really healthy again and I don't want the fewer calories to affect my running. I will give it a few more days to asses. I am focusing on getting a bit more fat and protein in my diet today. I have a pace run tomorrow and I am nervous I will feel like I did today.

129.8 Going down!!!!

Ran with Renae at the beach today. We did a mile warm up and then a 6 mile pace run and a mile cool down. I added 5 miles on when I was done running with her. I have stuff going on Sat. AM so I knew I wouldn't be able to do a longer run this weekend.

My asthma has been bugging me the last couple of days, same with my allergies.

130.0 I ate more than I should yesterday but I was worried I wouldn't have enough energy for my tough run today. Atleast that was what I kept telling myself.

Splits (warm up) 9:33, 8:03, 7:58, 8:04, 7:59, 8:03, 8:00, (cool down) 8:52, (Renae left, not sure what I want to do) 8:35, (decided to push for a couple of miles) 7:57, 8:06, (running into the wind) 8:09, (cool down) 8:36

My legs were so tired today. I couldn't get them to move very fast. We went to DisneyLand last night and didn't get home until 12:30 AM. I am sure that didn't help the leg situation this morning.

Last mile I ran with my son. He wants to run a 5k on the 4th of July. He is 7.
