Just Nathan in the stroller this time.  We went around campus with a good hill thrown in and then just around family housing to finish it out.  I need to start getting more hills in and slowly increase my miles.

4 miles with the boys in the stroller.   It was kind of chilly (relatively) this morning, which was kind of a nice change.

Around campus with Nathan in the stroller.  It was a warmer than the last few days, so that was nice.

A nice run with Nathan through family housing.  My goal is to break 3 hours in the marathon this year, with a more ambitious (though I think attainable) goal of breaking 2:50.

Out and back to Canyon Crest shopping center. It was a pretty easy run, but we walked a lot yesterday afternoon, so this has been a great week!

We went on a run with the boys around town.  Some of it out and back and then I ran some loops while Anna ran and errand.  This week is off to a good start.

Out and back to Canyon Crest shopping area and then to run an errand around family housing.  This week has really been nice.  I also finished grading my students' first papers yesterday, so now I have more time to work on my own work, which will be nice.

Out and back to the Canyon Crest area with Joshua in the stroller.  No donuts this time, but we did listen to the piano/violin music playing over the speakers.

I went on a good run with the boys in the stroller and Anna with us on a bike.  Because she was on the bike, it helped push the pace quite a bit and could be a really nice way to train.

I went with the boys through campus and to the circle clock and back.  We actually kept a pretty good pace and it was a nice run.  I'm really happy with how the mileage build is going.

Five and a half with Anna riding a bike with the boys in a trailer.  This has been fun and has bumped up my training pace a bit.
