3.5 miles on the treadmill before it sounded like it exploded. So frustrating. So I decided to rush the girls after spending time with customer service, and got everyone in the stroller for a stroller run. Walked Aubrey to school and as we are walking into the playground I have the flattest of flats (and Cameron ran over the bike pump a few days ago.) I give up!

Came home and did the Upper Fix workout.

Got a cold, and feeling wiped out again so decided to take it a bit easier today. Slept in til 7 and then walked Aubrey to school and then ran the 4 mile loop with the double stroller. Then came home and ran 1 mile on the treadmill to round it out to 5 miles overall. Didn't wear a watch when I pushed the stroller but it was slow.
