4.4 miles--Gorgeous day!

After working all day, I came home and Chris and my daughter were ready to head out and get some fresh air and exercise.  I quickly changed and my daughter strapped her son (my grandson) in the stroller.  We walked for a bit, then I took the stroller and ran for a little bit.  Boy it is definitely harder to run pushing a stroller--even a running stroller---than it is to run alone!  But I needed the extra umph while I run.  We've been so busy at home with the basement finishing, my daughter and grandson arriving, homework, work, and well--just life--that running has taken a back burner.  It felt absolutely fabulous to get out.  I did some sprints while running to really push myself.  I could tell that my lungs were a little stressed and I should have taken my inhaler before heading out.  Luckily, I was able to control it and continue on.  Now, to just get out again on Friday!

3.53--a little slow...

Today was a little slow, but I logged 3.53 miles.  I had hoped to get more miles in, but it just didn't happen.  Today is Chris' and my 29th anniversary, so instead of going out to dinner, we headed out for fresh air and some walking/running.  We walked for a little bit and had a nice chat and then we ran for a while.  After 29 years together, it was the best night out!  I miss running every other day, so it feels really good when I can get out and run.
