Distance: 2.58 miles
Time: 30:23
Location: Yucca Loma to Cronese and back
It was a busy week last week and fitting runs in was challenging. My parents came over after I got off work to bring a piece of furniture for Nathan and we visited for a little while. After they left, even though it was after 9pm, I forced myself to go on a run, since I knew I wouldn't be able to the following night. The day prior had been the 2.5 mile run pushing Nathan in the stroller, and I had also done a strength workout that night, so I was sore all over. But instantly when I began my run I noticed an increased energy. Running without pushing 50 lbs. was noticeably easier. It turns out that running with Nathan is going to reap many benefits. My goal on this run was simply to keep running for 30 minutes. I decided to head east up my typical Yucca Loma hill route. I ran until my phone alerted me it had been 15 minutes, which just happened to occur at the top of the hill at Cronese Rd., the point I usually turn around at anyway. I coasted down Yucca Loma back home to finish off a successful run. The prior day's run was a struggle, but this night I felt loose and strong and much more optimistic about my upcoming race. Two days down, twenty-two to go.
