today started with a walk with my daughter.  after walking a mile i decided to run.  it felt great and had been way to long since i had tried.  i ran most of the way home.  all but one hill that i didnt feel like running up while pushing 35 lbs. 

so, i ran pretty close to three.  i will try again in a day or two.  felt great!!!

1 hour bike.  legs a bit sore from yesterday.  that is funny to me how i wasnt sore after 13 a month ago and now i am sore from 2.5.  its actually a depressing thought but oh well, such is life.

4 and i ran the whole way!!!  like i said tuesday, it is amazing how out of shape a person can get in a short amount of time even with doing my spin bike almost every day. 

anyway, felt good.  i have been running without my orthotics in my posted shoes.  hopefully that will work for me because if not i am most definately out of options.  it felt great to get out there again!!
