    My brother lives about 5 hours drive away - we text screenshots of the treadmill's ending summary to one another. We are ridiculously competitive and our (non-runner) spouses do not understand at all. This will probably stop being fun when one of us gets good enough to always win.

    Jan 15 - rest day
    Jan 16 - 34 mile bike ride. Didn't do too good - couldn’t keep up with group. Weird, because the other two times I did the ride, I was fine. But then today I realized it might be because I'm back at work (was off two weeks for winter break, I teach). Tomorrow doing a much longer bike ride - 52 -- eek! -- but at a slower pace. Got to get some runs in next week! Hate not running but I can’t run and bike on the same days. I could run and strength train the same days, I think. I run at 4:30am and do the strength training at 4:30pm. So I should be recovered by then!

    3 miles outside today. I am still part of the turtle running team but my easy pace is much faster then it was last month so I am pretty happy about that. :)

    That's wonderful!
    - My son calls home on weekends and we have a little friendly competition to see who worked out more each week. He always does more push ups, but it drives him crazy that his "old" mom often runs more miles than he cycles. I'm just glad to give him incentive to exercise.

    What a weird week I'm having! I usually do 4-5 runs a week which are moderate or long (for me). This week I've done 6 short runs. I think I'm still adjusting to doing more miles, a few months ago I was doing about half this amount.

    Have a great weekend everyone :)

    That's so great that you and your son keep on each other's workouts. I'm starting to take my 5 yr old son on some hikes/ jogs and love that we can share the experience together.

    First 15 miles of today's marathon went perfectly, next 5 were on pace, but ran into a headwind and too much sun/heat on my last 6 to crack the 3:45 mark and bonked a bit at the end. Finished in 3:52, a 55 minute PR over my last marathon, so I'll take it. Looking forward to improving at my next one in May (Pittsburgh).

    Back to bed now to curl up and die for a few hours before I think about moving my legs again.

    January 1 - 5 miles
    January 3 - 5 miles
    January 4 - 12 miles
    January 5 - 4 miles
    January 8 - 5 miles
    January 9 - 4 miles
    January 10 - 3 miles
    January 11 - 8 miles
    January 13 - 3 miles
    January 14 - 4 miles
    January 17 - 2 miles
    January 18 - 26.2 miles (@ 8:48 pace)

    Total: 81.2
    Goal: 84

    That's how it begins. Even my 3 year old loves to go running with mommy. I'm "running" at a walking speed by his side for about a mile until he's had enough, but one day hopefully he'll run with me the way his older sisters do. When they're small you share your love of the world with them and show them all the different ways to experience it. Go walking, cycling, running, hiking, swimming, rock climbing or whatever you love to do. Share those fun times with them & they'll love it too. I'm always delighted when one of my children wants to run or hike with me. Even though I don't enjoy cycling, I'm even more delighted when one of my children asks me to join them in an activity they love.
