Ran with the Heidi's today! HOORAY!!! Oh how I have missed running with these girls!!! Really............it was so fun to be out with them today!!!  We ran our usual 5 mile square!!! I knew it was going to be a bit harder for me today because I need to learn how to talk and run again (just running consistently without stopping has been hard enough).  I felt pretty good until about 3.5 but then hit a hard patch.  I wanted to run through it to help push myself further so I kept going but let's be honest, I felt like crap.  I was so so happy to finish up to see that we averaged a 8:19AP, WAHOO!!! No wonder I felt like crap!! But these are the times that will make me stronger so I am excited for that! They are doing "Hills" on Wednesday, do I dare attempt???

OUCH!!!! MY first attempt at hills since the Marathon last year!!! Oh the Heidi's are going to have me whipped into shape in NO time at this route!! Yes, it was hard and I did not enjoy it but just have to remember that this is "good training" (A motto that has gotten me through many tough times before).  AP: 8:47

Attempted to run New Leaf again with Heidi C this morning but got started later and it was HOT!!! I am not sure what my problem was this morning but I was out of gas before I started. I think it was a combination of living off of Caffeine Free Diet Coke and neglecting to drink water combined with nursing before I left and forgetting to drink at all! I felt Completely Dehydrated!!! So, it was brutal and we stopped and walked a couple of times but at least ran I guess.  I need to increase my H20 SEVERELY!!! AP 8:47

Harry's Hill Baby!!! WAHOOO!!!! I actually ran ALL of Harry's Hill! Yes, it totally killed me and I was probably very slow (I didn't even wear my watch), but I did it!!!  This was by far my best post baby run! Yay!

Physique 57 today!!! I did almost the full workout but WOW, it kicked my butt, literally! I need to do this once a week.  I can feel it in my arms and abs (of course) especially!!!  This getting older, having a harder time recovering from babies, is for the birds!!!!

I got to run long today because we are heading up to Ogden tonight for the half marathon (Ty is running) tomorrow so I won't get to run.  My baby girl must have sensed it because she slept from 10:15 until 5:30 this morning (7hrs and 15 minutes), HOORAY!! What a good little girl!!

I am a bit torn with my feelings right now! Ogden is my absolute FAVORITE half marathon EVER and so I wish I were running it!! And, if I had known I'd be running 10'ish miles at this point, I probably would have signed up for it, BUT........I am also SO SO SO excited to be at the finish line to rally in my hubby and to let my kiddos see him also!!! Not to mention I am in NO WAY, SHAPE or Form ready to have a sitter for my little girly yet, so, I am feeling good about my choice even if the next year of waiting will kill me:)!!! No, it's all good!!! 

Today's run was a good one! We just ran out and back and enjoyed a couple of nice walk breaks also!! I am starting to feel much better when running so I hope that it's coming back! Yes, I still need to work tremendously on the speed factor but am enjoying running right now just the way it is! No stress:)!!!  Right?????
