Back on the street

I hit the pavement again today after a week long (unintentionally) break from running. We went on vacation last week to San Antonio. Babies don't sleep good in hotels and I realized neither do moms. I was exhausted most mornings we were away and wanted to enjoy what time I had with my family. It has taken me a couple days of being home to feel like I can do this again. It took a lot of encouragement from Kevin-why is that? Why can't I just get up and run and feel good about running for 30 minutes plus rather than stay on the negative and looking at how much further I have to go?
It was cool this morning and I wore a light jacket. The sun coming up was beautiful and now that I am finished I can't wait to get in the habit again of my morning runs. I will hit the street tomorrow.

Red in the face

My parents saw me after a workout earlier this week. I was terribly red in the face and they both worried (being two nurses). That got me to thinking today. I have not been red in the face during a workout in about 1o years-back during my tennis days in highschool.

These thoughts give me encouragement today. I wanted to run longer than my normal 30 minutes and my body just said STOP. It felt discouraging to stop running during my usual time to cool down. But maybe each day I can do a little more and get there.

I am still thinking of a jolling stroller but honestly worry about pushing 50 pounds in front of me while I am training. Getting to swing my arms etc. will it be more difficult?
