Out and back on Victoria.  (Unless I say otherwise, usually this is with the boys in the double stroller, and usually Anna on her bike).  And each week I'm getting 40-45 miles biking to and from campus.

10 miles with the boys in the stroller and Anna on her bike.  We've been doing this more lately and it's been a lot of fun.

It was a really nice run this morning down the Victoria trail and back.  No stroller today, as the boys and Anna are out of town for a few days.  Much easier to go without a double stroller (but not as much fun either).   I'm going to be working to get pretty consistent miles over the next while, so if anyone's following me (which I don't think anyone is), keep me to it.

7 miles out and back on the trail in the morning.  My legs felt better than I thought they would after yesterday.  I was a little tired/slightly sore at the end of the run and on my ride to and from school, I thought I'd be sorer today.  But it wasn't bad at all.  I took it easy to start and then sped up a little on the way back.

7 miles out and back on the trail.  The first 3.5 were in 29:45 and the last 3.5 were in 26:30.  So I sped up quite a bit on the way back.  I took it easy on the way out just to be safe and to ease into it.  The way back actually felt quite nice, not pushing too hard but just a little faster.  It's been a good week so far and the weather has been beautiful.

4 miles on the trail before classes.  I was a little over 8 min/mile pace on the way out and about 7:30 on the way back.

10 miles out and back to the Arlington Heights Sports Park.  The first 5 were in 40 minutes and the last five were in 37:28.  The last couple miles were a little harder, but not too bad.  I was pretty happy with this run at this stage in the year.

It was a really nice start to the week.  I went 8 miles out and back on the Victoria trail.  the first 4 in 33:15 and the last 4 in 29:27.  I had a little blister on the outside of my left foot from my walk in sandals yesterday.  Silly me.  Oh well.  It wasn't that bad and hopefully it goes away soon.
