Goal Type:

5 K Finish

Running Accomplishments:

As of yet I have NONE!  Though I have done a few 5k, 3k, and 10k walks.

Short-Term Running Goals:

In the next two years I'd like to be able to get in 5 miles five days a week.  I'd like to participate in a 10K run and actually run the whole thing.  I'd also like to participate in the Danskin Triatholon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Just working right now on the short term. I'd be happy right now to say I am a runner.

Personal:

As far as personal facts, nothing too exciting about me. I am a mother of four kids, love to blog about them and my personal feelings, which you can find me at 4kidsnodog.blogspot.com.  I am married.  I have a degree in education but haven't done any professional teaching in a long time.

Total Distance
1.75

A little better. I woke up at 5 am and couldn't sleep. So I checked some email and then hopped on the treadmill.  After about .75 miles I just was done, too tired.  So I went outside in the pitch black and walked a little, not sure on miles there or yards rather so not counting them. 

 

Then I walked the whole family (two in umbrella strollers) to the bus stop and then walked, with one on shoulders and others in strollers for a mile.  My neighbor joined me and lucky for me helped me with some of the strollers.  Slow and steady wins the race right!

Good job. The trick is to just keep moving. It does not matter when or where, just keep looking for ways to get out and get some yards in :) You are a wonderful mother. Did you kill bus stop lady yet?

Yes, walking, moving forward, it's all good. Sounds like you needed 4 arms this morning juggling all the little ones. Do you have one of those baby slings? It's called Maya Wrap. Wait, how old is your youngest?

You are doing it just right! Sometimes it's just like flossing -- not one's favorite, but an unquestionable part of your day. Hope your week gets better!
