Seahawks 12k!

Did my first 12k today. It was fun.....I like the longer race rather than a 5k. It still takes me a good 3 miles to warm up. Brooke and I kept a good pace and finished officially at 1hr 49 mins. I did push myself to run more which I don't really enjoy, and I pulled a muscle in my left leg. But overall, we kicked it!

Cedar River Trail

Thanks again to my dear mom, I was able to get some miles in today without kids!  After pushing a stroller for the last three days, my back needed the break.  And double yay, a dear friend of mine was able to join me!  I swear, there is something magical about talks on the trail.  They are SO therapeutic for me.  My body is moving, and my mind is able to clear it all out.  Mother nature is all around me, and I feel supported and energized.  We did 3.2 miles in 52 mins.  Perfect! 

A quicky

Took a quick walk at the park while the boys had soccer practice.  Again, it was about 45 mins and Darla and I did almost 3 miles.  I am pretty sore now, after using the stroller three days in a row.  My back is grumpy about the new posture, but I'm sure it'll get better. 

Six more miles

A couple of friends and I are participating in the Seahawks 12k this weekend and tonight was the best night this week to train. So, I added 6.2 more miles to my tally today. It was a nice was to end the day. I feel invigorated and pretty confident that I will sleep well tonight. Thanks, Brooke!

Walking with the kids

We did a walk to a nearby park this morning. It wasn't so fast, and there were lots of stops along the way, but I still got my heart rate up and it was nice to be outta the house with my littles. Did about 3 miles in an hour, not counting the park play in the middle.

Soccer Practice walk

While my son and husband participated in soccer practice, my daughter and I walked the trail around the park.  I did 2.24 miles in 40 mins.  It was a little soggy, but I always feel better after going.  And lil D hung out in the stroller long enough for me to feel good about the effort.  Whoot!

A 10 mile morning

My friend and I hit the Cedar river trail this morning for some 1/2 marathon training. We did 10 miles in about 2 hours 40 mins. A little slow but neither of us was feeling the run this morning. It was a wonderful way to start the day!

Swollen river....amazing!

One of my favorite sites on the trail.
