Run Run Run

Let's see I put in three runs since I wrote last. I was suppose to run Monday night but was tired and busy and didn't feel up to it. So I planned on going out before Jake left for work. Yeah right! I was lazy and stayed in bed. I knew I had to get a run in so I was preparing to take the jogging stroller out when I realized I had a voicemail from my parents. My mom asked if I wanted her to watch the boys that day. I said sure I was about to go for a run come on over and watch them. So I avoided taking the jogging stroller out once again. I ran 3.5 miles with 4 1:30 aerobic intervals.

Wednesday I put in a run as soon as Jake got home. It was so hot. I only ran 3 miles and took two walking breaks. Last night it was a lot cooler after the rain came in. I ran 4.5 miles then 4 gentle pickups at the end for a total of 5 miles. I forgot to tell Jake I was going for a long run and he started to become concerned shortly before I arrived back. I felt great. I took the pace really slow. I barely felt out of breath for the first two miles. Of course the last half was more of a challenge. But I was able to run the entire thing and had a lot of energy for the gentle pickups at the end. It is fun to run really fast in the GP's but I can only do that a short time and feel like I'm going to die afterward.

The 5k I was planning on doing tomorrow had a location change due to some flooding. It will now be held at a track. 12 times around a track I don't know that I really want to do that sounds very boring. I'm not sure if I'm still going to participate or not. Still deciding on the 10K in may. I don't think I will do very well on the hills.
