Yesterday after the kids had their open house for school (they are so excited they will be right across the hall from each other) - I ran my 5 miles. It went really good, I was nervous because I had so much pain in my knee after Thursday's run. The pain is thankfully gone so I am glad I took those two days off to rest it.
Today I got outside and ran my 6 miles (the last few were pretty slow). I had a great pace till about mile 4 then it went downhill (and no, not literally). I started overheating, which I should of dressed lighter and got so thirsty (I should of brought water). I ran back home an got there at about 5 miles, so I refueled with some water.
My son was begging me to take him with me for the last mile, so I figured why not. I was SO proud of him, he did awesome, we ran and walked and he did a whole mile in 15 minutes! He is only 5 and he kept right up with me, and said he had so much fun. I really want to do a 5k with him that is run/walk or a fun run like a Color Run. He really turned such an awful run into an amazing run - so glad I took him out for the last mile!
Tomorrow is another 6 mile day - as long as its not raining, I am getting out to run! Hopefully tomorrow's run is a little easier and I can get my breathing down (that is something I struggled with today, which could of been the heat). I got on my Pittsburgh Marathon app on my phone and it says 20 more days!!
