I *killed* it today on my run!

Oh man, I am loving the fact that running is getting easier!! And I'm getting faster!

I had a great run today. My body has felt great the past few times out and the weather is gorgeous again, so I decided to do three miles. It's my last run before my race, and now I am feeling more prepared than ever!!

I shattered my three-mile PR. And I kept my overall pace below 12 minute miles while pushing the jogging stroller!! Wow, it felt just awesome!! And I felt like I had a lot of gas left in my ol' tank when I was done.

Afterward, I let Kara out of the stroller and we walked about a mile more together. She ran, but ended up tripping twice and scraping her palms a little. She was OK though, and got up and kept running. Silly girl!!

Today's stats:
Distance: three miles
Time: 35:21 (previous best was 36:20)
Pace: 11:47 minute/mile (dude, I'm stoked about this!)

Splits:
mile 1: 11:41
mile 2: 12:08
mile 3: 11:31 (holy crap!)
