Ran over to South Ogden splash pad, ran around South Ogden Days 5K loops. Hills were a little rough but overall it was a great run. Pushed the single running stroller.

Cam and I fit a run in before our busy day started. We had a nice family run with a lot of walk breaks. But we did get out and we enjoyed the warm overcast morning. 

My legs felt so heavy today and just couldn't get to where I felt good. Did the South Ogden loop with single jogging stroller. Was planning on 6 miles but ended up doing 5. Hopefully I feel great tomorrow!

Took the double stroller out Sinclair loop. Felt great. My miles were decent considering the load I was pushing: 7:29, 9:34(up the big hill!), 8:11, 7:37. Finished the run at Great Harvest for slices of bread.

Run with Sariah and Joshua, as well as both my girls in the double running stroller. So amazed at the shape Sariah is in at 7.5 months pregnant. Ran to Weber State and out Polk til Mount Ogden Park and back. Great run there, slight uphill on the way back always tires me out, especially with the double (I feel like I complain about pushing the stroller a lot, but I love having my girls enjoy a run with me and it gives me an even better workout.)

St. George run! Love running at lower altitudes. Started the run off with Cameron and Ben, then relaxed into a pace by myself. Felt great.  (7:34, 7:30, 7:22, 7:39, 7:27, 7:28, 7:24, 7:21)

Pace: 7:28

Overall time: 1:00:02

Started at the park in St. George once again. Ran first 5 miles with Cameron and Jordan. Then Cam and I ran back to the house to add a few miles. Great run, but I felt tired, maybe from Saturday's run, or maybe from getting less sleep on vacation!

Pace: 7:45

Overall Time: 54:12

Easy 4 miles with Cam. Didn't get started until 8:30 and it was hot! But at least we got a few miles in. 

Pace: 7:47

Time: 31:07

Cameron and I headed out with the single stroller. Nice run. Got started a little earlier so we both felt a bit better. Still overall a slower pace due to lack of sleep mixed with heat and hills. 

Pace: 7:56

Time: 47:36

Back home. Took the girls on Sinclair loop with the double stroller. Didn't feel great, but it is always nice to be home and nice to get out. 

Pace: 8:46

Time: 29:33

Ran to Weber State, around stadium, and up to Beus pond with double stroller. Fed the ducks with the girls, played at the park, and then ran home.

Ran out towards Mount Ogden Park with single stroller. First three miles were decent, but I was struggling to hit 8 minute pace even with a slight downhill. Struggled on the way back and stopped a few times to walk the hills.

Started from home and headed up the to Beus trailhead. Headed up for about a quarter mile, but just wasn't handling the hills at all today. Turned around, ran down Shadow Valley, over to Starbucks, and back home. Last few miles were great.

Course was a little short according to my watch. The hills hurt. But I was very pleased to be the first female overall. Time was about 15 seconds slower than my best time one the course. But it was a great indicator of where I am at with my training. It was so nice to be back competing. I haven't run a competitive race since my marathon in St. George in October 2010. Nice to feel like myself again. 

 Just under a 2 mile warmup with Cameron. 

 Signed Aubrey up for the kids K. Cried for 200 meters until we turned around. Then she sprinted to the finish. Fun to experience a first race for anyone.

Sinclair Loop. Walk/Jog with double stroller. Feeling last night's race.

This morning I decided to take the day off. We went to the South Ogden Days Parade and had a blast. Came home and decided to just get out. Very windy and about 85 degrees. Pushed the single stroller and my daughter really seemed to enjoy the ride. Against the wind the first 2 miles, last 3 with the wind felt great.

Overcast but warm morning. Ran to the stadium, out Polk, and up to Mount Ogden Park. Back on Pipe through stadium back home. Good loop.

Drove to the trails. Went straight up the steep hill, out on the upper trails, connected to the pavilion, back on pipe to vita course and back to car. It was so nice to run the upper trails again. Hot again today.

Sinclair loop with double stroller. Stopped my watch to tie my shoe at a mile and forgot to start it again. Guessing my pace was 8:30 to 9:00 for the run. 

Double stroller run. Ran up to Beus Pond, passing our old church. Ran around to stadium, back home, and went towards Shadow Valley just to make sure I got 4 miles in. Hilly run.

Got out earlier than usual. Ran up Shadow Valley, out Skyline and around to the Old Weber tempo loop. Ran home and decided to pick up the girls so that Cam could get his run started before it got hot.  First 2 miles over 8 minute pace, the rest 7:20 to 7:35. (6.21 miles total). Felt great.

Pace: 7:45

Picked up the double stroller to jog a few more miles just to up my miles a bit.  And I was feeling good-until I had to push the double;). Headed to the stadium, back to Beus pond, fed the ducks and played at the park, and then ran home. Jog/Walk. (3.16 miles)
