Run with the Hubs II

Next verse, same as the first...except it wasn't worse by any means :) - 2.2 miles with my husband!

Run with the Hubs

My parents are in town, which gives my hubby and I some time to run together sans 2 yr-old! We did an easy 2.5 this afternoon :)

Zzzzz

It's 6am. It's Monday. I went running 2.1 miles. Whatev....

Women's Mini 10k

I definitely had some reservations about this race, mostly all concerning my ability to run a 10k after all of the running drama over the last few months. But at least I could run this one, unlike the one back in April, so I was thankful for that. I also had a handful of friends running this race too, so camaraderie always helps! One of my friends ended up running the entire race with me, which I was so grateful for. Of course I was not able to race because of the pregnancy and my lack of fitness as of late, but I still enjoyed it. I had to make a pit stop after just one mile, something I absolutely hate to do, but the baby must have been hanging out on my bladder because I was about desperate by the time I reached W90th St and Central Park West...the convenient thing was the race course literally crossed in front of my apartment, so instead of waiting in line behind 10 other women, I dashed up to my apartment and got back out on the course in about 3 minutes, ha!

I ended up finishing the race in a 1:01:25, a 9:54 pace. I will take that!

To Soccer

I ran 2.5 miles to my son's soccer class today...getting in miles wherever I can!

Hills (?)

Yes. I ran hills today. At 6am. At 15 weeks pregnant. Why? Well, for one I thought I might benefit from a little lick in the pants with all of the easy runs I've had lately...and two, said kick in the pants might help prepare my legs for a 10k race I have this coming Saturday. I plan to take it easy the rest of the week, but the course runs through Central Park, in particular the North Hills, so I needed to make sure my legs remembered how to do those! I ran 3.7 mi total. 

Bonus

Most Sundays I get a bonus because we always walk to church (3 miles round trip I might add!), then I try to squeeze in a run in the afternoon, as I did today. Just 2.5 miles, but after that walk in the morning 2.5 is a good distance for this growing girl...

Another Family Run

Ran 4.1 miles in the park today with my husband and son...these runs are always enjoyable, and as long as I am not able to push the pace anyway, I might as well enjoy the runs. While I am at it I am also enjoying the weather...such a contrast to the bitter cold, and snowy winter we just went through. Summer's heat is on it's way though...I know it. 

Feeling Better...a Little

I am still feeling pretty fatigued today, but not as bad as yesterday. I was able to run 2.9 miles today. As I reflected on my recent runs it is hard to believe I ran a strong marathon just 7 months ago. Where did that runner go? She is in hibernation I suppose while the tummy dweller takes over her body...which is perfectly fine. She'll be back...one day. 

SO Tired. So.

I barely mustered enough energy to get out the door this morning and make one lap around the reservoir. The pace was painfully slow, although I did not wear a watch I am convinced it was a 12+ pace. This pregnancy is kicking my tail right now.
