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.

Took it real easy today and was surprised at my Average Pace. Super hard to get out of bed only to run alone again today. Once I was out and running I sure was happy to be there. The beach was beautiful this morning. I really gotta learn how to surf.

I ran down along the beach. Neener neener neener!!! LOL! Of course I am totally kidding!

I love my MP3 now that I got rid of all my husbands music. The 6 went by so fast because I was singing away. I hope nobody could hear me! Ran past a lady with tons of plastic surgery and her dog had pink tennis shoes on!!! I have also seen people pushing there dogs in baby strollers. O people are fun!

Blessing... LEGS. Just before my last mile I ran into a beautiful woman in my ward who is in a wheelchair. She was coming down to the beach to exercise. She use to run high school and college track until she was in a car accident and now is wheelchair bound. I powered out my last mile thinking how good it felt to use my legs. Seriously, I am so thankful I get to drag myself out of bed early each morning to run. You never know when it can be taken away from you.

Ran 10 along the beach. I was going to just take it really east today but I couldn't help myself today. I kept finding people in front of me that I just had to pass. Then once I passed them I couldn't slow down for them to pass me and then I would find a new person to leap frog. It was actually quite fun.

I also ran into a woman in my ward who is AWESOME! I have never seen a woman so ripped in my entire life. She is the one I have talked about that is a speedy marathoner with a Olympic time. I ran 2 miles with her. Thank goodness her dog is slow so that I could keep up with her.

Blessing.... Choclate milk... I just LOVE it. I love how thick and yummy it is. I like to drink a cup of it after a long run.
