Back on the run

I did a short run today. On the track at the local elementary school. The weather was really nice, albeit a bit windy and chilly. This time I took Tim and the kids with me. Tim has been wanting to start running too, and he got to test out his new running shoes today.

The run itself was unremarkable. Except for the fact my shins felt really tight. I don't know what the deal is. I never get tight shins when I'm running on the road. I only did 2 miles because I hadn't done a real run in more than a week and I don't want to aggravate my pinched nerve, which has been bugging me again.

Kara ran a little on the track, too. She's going to be running races with mommy someday, she says. :)

After the run, Tim and I tried out the swings with Kara. Tim and I actually swung ourselves. A few months ago my butt wouldn't have fit on the swing. But it does now! Meanwhile, Kara tried to figure out how to pump her legs to make herself go. It didn't work and Tim had to give her a push. Then we played some basketball. Poor Matty had to sit in the stroller and watch while we all ran around and shot baskets. Guess he'll have to start walking soon so he can join in!!

Today's stats:
Distance: two miles
Time: 23:13
Pace: 11:36 minute/mile
