more fall running.

I ran outside this weekend...it was just gorgeous! A bit cool- perfect for acclimating my lungs to cold weather running. It wasn't a long run, only 2.3 miles, but it felt wonderful. And I ran my fastest since having my second baby- 9:58/mile!! That is pretty speedy for me, but I'm hoping to get speedier...and be able to run longer. What I really need to do is get myself awake before my kidlets wake up. That in itself is a chore. But right now, it looks like that's the only way I'll get back to a regular running schedule. Last week, I ran 3x. This week, I'm aiming for at least that- hopefully 4! I need to get out in the cold since my next 5K is scheduled for December 5. And since it looks like repairing the dreadmill is going to be pricy, outdoor running is really my only option right now.

In other news, we had an awesome weekend! We celebrated birthdays with my family at a nice dinner out last night. My boys were VERY well behaved- I was so proud!! I can't believe I'm 34. I don't FEEL 34, but when I look in the mirror or at pictures of myself, I can see the years looking right back at me. No better time to get back in the best shape of my life!!!!

fall is here!

So the summer has come and gone. And I only ran one race. But I should be cutting myself some slack- I need time to get back in the swing of things! I am getting older after all so it's taking me longer to build up endurance.

My treadmill is out of commission. I will be calling this week to get a technician out to fix it because I won't be doing much running with my kids in the BOB in the cold weather. And once my treadmill is working again, training can commence!

I have been doing a bit of running, but I'm really lacking in speed and distance. I think my treadmill really helped in those departments- I'm anxious to get both back.

Stay tuned!
