First Longer Run

No running on Wednesday or Thursday. Wednesday, Aria slept and Mama 30-day-shredded. :-)

Thursday involved lots of errand running and by the time we were dressed and out the door, Brian called to say he was 5 minutes from home. It sucks to say but I know that he would have been upset if I went through with the run. He can be very needy. And he loves to spend every spare moment with his girls. So we turned around and came home.

I told him that since I came home for him, he would have to accept that Aria and I would be taking a jog over the weekend. He agreed and reminded me that he never said I needed to abort my run in the first place. I know him, though, he would have been mad and/or sad.


Anyway, Yesterday the Zootster and I beat out 4.4 miles! It was seriously the most beautiful day for a run, too. I did not know at the time how far we were going, I just knew how long we had been going for.

At about 50 minutes I wanted to try for sixty because I figured at my usual pace that would be around 5 miles but I called it quits because Aria seemed impatient and my goal is only 10 miles/week for now and I don't want to overdo it and set myself up for failure! So 4.4 miles we did.

Today looks to be just as beautiful as yesterday and technically, we could run 2.45 miles and have 10 miles but I think we'll do a 5k because I know the exact route that is that distance.


I might also do the 30 day shred but maybe not. We'll see how I feel.
