I'm pretty sure that I've forgotten to log some runs over the last couple weeks because I'm out of the habit, but probably not many.  

I took almost a week off a couple weeks ago to rest my hip.  During that time I stretched and did ab work instead of running.  Then I stopped breastfeeding, so there were a few more days that running was not good.  Then I went on a retreat where we did other stuff, and now here we are.  

I only ran a little more than 2 during parent teacher conferences with one of the teachers.  Apparently my pace was a bit fast for her.  I thought I was letting her lead, but I guess not.  It was windy.

I used to be so good about logging my miles the day I ran them.

My hip is still bothering me, but as long as I stretch, it's not too bad. I have some ground to make up in my mileage so I can be ready for a half at the end of April. It won't be fast, I'm sure.

I think this run was 3 miles, but I'm honestly not sure.

The start to spring break.  We drove down to Marion, IL on Friday night and stayed in a hotel on our way to camp in Arkansas.  These were a few quick miles on the hotel treadmill while we were waiting for the pool to open so the kids could swim before we hit the road.

This was at least 2 miles.  We were staying near Hot Springs.  We walked all over the place on Sunday, and most of it I carried Griff in the sling.  That thing is great.  Hot Springs is really pretty.

Caleb and I hit the trails.  We intended to do 4 miles (one of the trails twice), but the trails were rough in spots.  Beautiful though.  By the time we finished one lap, neither of us really wanted to keep running.  So we walked back to the waterfall to wait for Chuck and the other kids.  Then Eli and I ran from the waterfall to the trailhead.

Yesterday was a long car ride back home.  I needed 6 miles at some point this week.  So my run was nice, but it was cold after the beautiful 80 degrees in AR.  A couple fast-ish miles, but an average pace of 8:40.

Combining several of my least favorite things:  morning running, empty stomach, treadmill.

I feel pretty good about this run.  Lungs felt great.  Pace was good.  Hip felt okay.  I will need to stretch well and do some ab work and then see how it feels tomorrow.  AP 8:26 (8:40, 8:40, 8:31, 8:21, 8:21, 8:25, 8:08, 8:25).

3 treadmill miles. My hip feels worse after treadmill running, but as of right now, during the week I don't often get a chance to run before 830. That should change as the weather gets nicer.
