Entourage Run #4




Yesterday I hit the pavement again! Luckily I was called off work, so I was able to delay my 6am run until 11 am. I had quite the entourage between Layla in the Charriot and Kashi alongside! It took us a while to get bundled up and settled in for the ride. But I took the chilly opportunity to use my N1ke+1P0d again and here's the stats:
Distance: 2.75 miles (I'm very aware that it's a short distance... but c'mon people! I gotta start somewhere:))
Time: 31:46
Pace: 11:31 min/mi (keep in mind I was pushing a heavy jogger stroller!)


It was super hard trying to manage the kids (kashi and Layla) but we did it and it felt GREAT! The REALLY FRUSTRATING PART? My weight is not budging. I have been monitoring my calorie intake very closely and I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'll ask my dietitian this week what her opinion is. It's SO hard to keep running and eating healthy when the results are unseen. BUT... I won't stop. Today will probably by a night run of the DHS stadium stairs with Kashi, and tomorrow will be a rest day because I have an early staff meeting at the hospital. But maybe I could squeeze in a Pilate's DVD.

Happy Tuesday!

I so could just eat her up!!!!! She is a doll!! and I am always so behind on laundry. I figure that's one of the things I can slack on since I also, get the kids dressed and fed in the morning, take conner to preschool, go grocery shopping/running errands, etc..... anywho, so I'm sure you'll live (you just need to become LAZY like me!!! JK). anywho, I don't think 2.75 miles isa short run. I can't even walk that far!! Keep up the good work! =)

Shannon, I feel like a stalker, I found your blog after I talked to Nat. It is fun catching up with you, I never see you anymore...in fact I tried to drop off a letter for you but you weren't home, I hope you got it!
Good job with your progress and determination, I am proud and envious of you. (We have the same goal...)
Good luck with your running, being Super Mom and working. You never cease to amaze me!
