So we had our first increase today, time and distance. I convinced A that we needed to start running 1:30. She thought she was being crafty leaving the recovery time at 5 minutes. I think she was a little sad when I told her she had added 3 extra minutes to our final time. At the end, though, she was as proud as me!

All I know is, it sure as hell is easier to run without the jogging stroller! I brought alot to the run with me today. Since my accident on Sat. night I have been terrified that I was going to be laid up for a while. I'm still sore for sure but I think I would have damaged my soul more by staying home. I've started this thing and I want to see it though. I've also been under the gun with getting Christmas stuff done for my boss and myself. It doesn't help that I have all of these extra things to do and no car seat yet to take little guy with me.

A. brought her grandkids with her today that just got into town. The older one was running circles around us. Her desire to run just for the joy of running was contagious. It was also inspiring. That's exactly the feeling I want to recapture.

I felt amazing when we were done. It's so sad to think that we were pushing ourselves at the slow pace we were going until you realize that 3 weeks ago this would have flat out killed me!
