Back to normal schedule
I miss having my husband around so that I could just get up and run in the morning. I am doing pretty good at getting runs in, but it takes a lot more planning and I am a mile or 2 behind what I wanted to be at today...I guess I will just have to run more this weekend. Monday I ran 6 miles and Tuesday 6.5 to the Y and lifted with my husband. Wednesday he returned to work, so I did the elliptical trainer at the Y in the morning and managed to run 5.5 miles in the afternoon when my mom babysat and I ran with my dad. Yesterday I ended up taking my day off. I had planned to run with Ryan in his jogging stroller to the nearby track during his nap time. I figured I could push him the mile there and back and leave him camped out in the stroller sleeping while I ran around the track since it was suppose to be almost 50 and sunny. This plan did not work so well, since while I was waiting for it to be time for his morning nap it started raining and kept raining all day. I did walk for a little over an hour with him in the morning before the rain while I waiting for it to be nap time and lifted weights in the evening. Today I called my parents and talked them into coming over so I could run with my dad, since my husband was to work during lunch and its rainy again. We got 5.5 miles in again, which is as much as I can talk my dad into doing. Tomorrow I have my first long run with the girls I coach at 9am. Hopefully I am in good enough shape now to not have trouble making 10 at their pace. I don't know if i mentioned it, but I timed my 5 mile run last Sunday and I did the route in 38:30, so I am running about 7:45s if that run was the same as the rest of my runs. I was just pleased to not find out that I was running something over 8 minute miles like I feared.
