Unfortunately all 3 of my girls have been sick with fever and cough...yuck!  I was not able to do my long run on Saturday and have been exhausted from the long nights taking care of everyone. Tonight I was finally able to get something in.  I did bike for 60 minutes, abripperx, push ups.  It felt so good to exercise!  Hopefully I will not get this as bad as they did...I am feeling stuffed up!

My friend and I ran up and down the parking garage at the Dr offices this am for 4 miles.  It is 5 levels...it's the only way to get any hills here!  We were a little slow but we'll speed up.  20 minutes of yoga and attempted pull ups ( I can only do 1 & 1/2)...my arms are wimpy!

Did 3 VERY slow miles with a friend that's just started running.

Ran 13 miles early this am. Ave pace 8:57. I had to squeeze in some kind of long run because we are headed off to Mississippi to go camping. I'm so excited! Now just have to pack everything up.
