Lunch - 5.5 miles outside in beautiful weather. Wore my Garmin today so that I could keep better tabs on my pace. Average pace for the run was 7:31/mile - I'm happy with that. It felt pretty easy - definitely sustainable. Since the weather is getting warmer, I am going to start running with the boys after dinner - we will have to see how that works, since we usually start getting them ready for bed at around 7:15-7:30. I really need to get our treadmill fixed so that it stops making this nasty screeching sound when we run on it - even if I never use it again, and we just use it for the boys.
PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel at 9:58 pace. It was quite windy out, and he had drunk 2 whole cups of lemonade just before running, so he had a hard time of it. But he wanted to run that extra 1/2 mile even less, so he toughed it out and made it. Afterwards, we talked about not drinking a lot of fluids right before running. 0.65 miles with Joseph at 10:50 pace. He realized I was not going to give in and hold his hand, and was able to do a good job. |
