Day 46

I ran today at the gym. How I cannot wait for my huband to get home so I can run outside. It actually was not too bad today. About mile 3, I got pretty board. I fought through though and made it for an hour at a little over 5 miles. My hips are kinda sore today and my legs were sore last night. I feel like I run so much faster on the treadmill but it is actually a slower pace. I still don't get that. I am hoping to run at least 7 miles this week on my long run. It will probably have to be Sunday evening since Chris should be home. I cannot image trying to do my long run on the treadmill with the kids in the nursery. Even though they are older now, I still worry about them getting tired or hungry and me not being there. Everytime I pick them up though, they seem to be having so much fun. Anyway, I am at 9 miles for the week so if I can get 7 miles on my long run I will be at 16 for the week. Almost back where I was before at 20, give or take. I cannot believe I am almost back to that kind of mileage. So great. I think I could have run the half marathon in March, like my original plan. I am glad I waited though. I don't want to try to squeeze my runs in and get injuried. Sometimes I have so much going that it seems impossible.
