When I told Ryland I needed to take a picture because I had a happy run, he said he needed to be in it because he had a happy ride. He said he wanted to ride 3.5 miles, and we hit 3.46, so close enough. He's at 8.91/119 for the year. #running #runmgm #familyfitness

Yesterday's run was so awesome you can see the sky in my glasses. First, the weather was amazing- low 80s with a light breeze. I'm still working on getting over my allergy cough, but running faster feels better on my feet right now, so I did intervals of 0.3 mi. run/0.1 walk (the path is marked every 0.1). I used the lap function on my phone stopwatch mostly for curiosity's sake, and after I was warmed up, I was doing the run portions in about 2:23, just under a 8:00 pace. Yeah, it was just short stretches, but it was still so encouraging. #running #runmgm (at Auburn University at Montgomery)

After 3.7 total miles running around Deer Creek twice. We like going there because it has a decent amount of shade + very wide sidewalks. You can't see how red my forehead gets, but it's a bit ridiculous my face can't just get red all over. Stopped sweating during the 2nd loop, so took lots of walk breaks, but the first loop was all running at a satisfactory pace. #nygpicaday August 22: in my hand • You can see my phone in my hand in my glasses reflection #running #runmgm

Ryland had been grounded from his bike for a week, and yesterday he got to ride again. It was my 4th day in a row for cardio (I usually don't go more than three), so I ran two good miles and then alternated for 1.15. It was less hot and humid and felt so good to get out there. #running #runmgm #familyfitness

Last evening's run: 0.9 to the bathroom for potty, water, & stretching, then 2.2 without a break. My 2nd miles felt amazing, like the old days. This was about a minute faster than a month ago. #run #runmgm #familyfitness (at Auburn University at Montgomery)

Beautiful, warm evening for a run/ride. Smiling because I listened to my body when my knee hurt a little after running downhill. A little faster than last time even though I had to cut it short. Ryland had a good ride and is getting better at turning around in the grass when he gets too far ahead. #running #runmgm #familyfitness #paradolia (at Auburn University at Montgomery)

Bright laces buddies + my festive socks. I ran laps around the playground after chasing after Ryland on his bike (he's too fast for me now). Another mom at the playground asked me if I run professionally because I had "all the gear." My "gear" would be my running shoes I've had for a year, my race shirt from my last half (4.5 years ago), and my boy shorts (as in shorts literally from the boy department). Also featuring my festive socks. #runmgm #stpatricksday (at Ida Bell Young Park)

Another 2 miles, a little faster than last time despite strangling humidity and being in the grip of an allergy attack. Endorphins are a great antihistamine, so I did get a short break from the sniffles and sneezing. #running #runmgm (at Auburn University at Montgomery)
