A better week :)

we tried to run monday, but this storm wouldn't go away!

sunday - 4 miles in the rain - felt awesome! tried to run at a faster pace and still felt wiped out when i was done.

tuesday - 4 miles with the kids on the greenway (they ran 3)

thursday - 4 miles with the kids on the greenway again (they ran three as i ran 1 tempo mile). i underestimated when it would get dark (it was cloudy from storms) and we were running the last mile practically in the dark where the trail was covered with trees. we were very exctied to have a little dusk light the last .3 of the run when the trail opened up from the trees!

friday - 4 sweaty hilly miles with two of my kids in the high noon sun. they were troopers (even though it wasn't as hot as july normally is!)

saturday - 14 miles on the greenway. i used two gels as i had no time to prepare or pack fuel with no sugar. i'm finding as i adjust to no proc i was tired, stiff and sore. maybe it was too much too soon as i kept my miles way down the past two weeks post 50K. maybe it is from the lack of sugar. who knows. i have just been feeling different with running lately. hope it gets better soon.
essed sugar or sweets, running has felt harder. perhaps i was really addicted! ater the run,

my 3 younger kids want to train with me for a half marathon. they have 19.5 weeks to train. so i've created a slow and steady training schedule. two are not of age to participate in the big race downtown so i'm checking in to see if they can do a local half marathon near us. i have no doubt they can do it. i just need to read up and make sure the distance is safe for their body.
