This was a good run with Joshua in the stroller.  A little bit longer than the other days this week, but not all that long.  But things are going well.

Four miles around campus with both Joshua and Nathan in the stroller.  I was a little stiff yesterday, but I'm feeling good today.  It wasn't anything serious, just a transition to more consistent running rather than just walking or (very) easy jogging.  But here we go for a faster St. George in October.  I'm confident I can break 3 hours and would like to get closer to 2:50.  With more consistent training in the coming years, I'd like to get down around 2:40 (at least).  Although I think I could probably go faster, the necessary training might not let me maintain the balance I want with family, school, etc.

4 miles with the boys in the stroller.  It felt pretty good today and we're working our way back into a routine.

I went 2.5 miles with the stroller and 2.5 without.  Without the stroller, I did alternating harder and easy stretches of 1/3 a mile.  It felt good.  I obviously have a long way to go, but things are going well so far.  Also, we did get into St. George, so now I have a clear goal to be shooting for.

This was a good run with the boys in the stroller.  I'm just trying to build up my miles slowly right now, hoping to get and maintain a solid base.

Good to get out on Monday.  It was slightly drizzly and a bit cooler, but it was a really nice run.

This was actually a really nice run around campus and the surrounding area.  I didn't get out earlier since we had to get the car into the shop early, but I went with the boys in the stroller in the afternoon.  A little bit warm, but I don't mind the heat.
