I ran 2 miles on Saturday morning with the girls, and then another 4 miles on my own. The first part went fine, even though Daughter #3 had to walk a couple of times due to stomach pains. We tried a new route, taking the street out of the neighborhood and running by the pool, and then west on Virginia Parkway and back. It's funny how you never notice hills when you're driving, but when you're running they become more pronounced and obvious. They weren't bad but did have an effect. At least it was downhill coming back into the neighborhood.
For the second half I ran the usual route on the concrete path. The first part went well, but after the turnaround I had to walk a few times. The humidity and lack of sleep the night before finally got to me. I also walked up the big hill on Lake Forest. Not a great outing, but at least I got back to the 6-mile threshold. This week I'll keep pushing forward.
