Picking up the miles

With the Dallas RnR Half Marathon in 20 days, and basically being off 4 weeks, I really need to start getting a few more miles in or I might be crawling all the way to the finish line at RnR. 

Don't worry, I'm not getting too crazy.  Instead of my usual 3 mile stroller pushing run around the 'hood, I made it 4 miles.  4.26 to be exact, well as exact as MapMyRun, since my Garmin is not working at all right now.  Thanks to my 2.5 year old wanting to go over the bridge and into the woods to see the cars on the big road, I was able to add an extra mile to my run.  It felt great.  However, I did get a little break half way through the run.  I had to stop and let Thing 2 try and potty.  Gotta love potty training.  I just wanted to make sure that he didn't potty in the stroller (I didn't want to have to clean that up.)  Despite the stop, he didn't potty.  He actually didn't potty until we got home and he was out of the stroller walking in the front yard a whole 46 minutes later.  That just tells me he is capable of holding it.  Now if I could only get him to go in the potty. 

Anyway, back to running.  I actually felt really good on the run.  I am also starting to feel like I was before my 4 week hiatus.  Hopefully the weather will continue to cooperate so I can continue to get my run on this week (and continue to let Thing 2 run around in his underwear.)


Oh, I wasn't able to do a yoga video on Exercise TV last night.  I forgot about swimming lessons, which always makes for a much later night.  I am hoping to be able to do it tonight.   Hopefully I won't be too tired, since my boys are refusing to take naps today, thus not allowing me to get some things done.  Wish me luck!
