    Oh yeah, so I got 1.6. 46.9/80.

    @Elise4270 So sorry about the bad news at work. And as far as hills go, there's not many in my area, but there's down at my upcoming races, and I will be shamelessly walking up all of them! Might roll down one just for giggles.

    5k today for a total of about 13k this month. Only my third run this month due to illness etc. But also one of my better times for a 5k.

    Friday-2.25 miles. Not great but better than nothing. That puts me at 21.5 miles so far for the month. Headed to the coast this weekend to visit my grandfather, so I'll be doing good to get my walking in (his house is right on a busy highway, but hopefully we can walk at the beach some). Hopefully I'll be back in time on Monday to get a more energetic run in and catch up for the month. Have a great weekend everyone!

    7/1 = 5 miles
    7/2 = 6 miles @ 6 weeks postpartum!
    7/3 = weight training in the morning, 4 miles stroller walk
    7/4 = Rest day, holiday dinner with the family and a very cranky baby. Add a dog terrified by the fireworks, shaking, panting and salivating on my bed, and you get the whole picture of my 4th of July night. Breath in…Breath out…
    7/5 = 4 miles run, hot and humid, but I needed it for my sanity; 3 miles walk with the baby.
    7/6 = 3 miles. Super hot, humid, yucky but an outside run it was!
    7/7 = 2 miles around the block. Very tired today.
    7/8 = 6 miles
    7/9 = Rest day, very much needed!
    7/10 = 5 miles
    7/11 = 4 miles stroller walk, both mommy and baby needed it
    7/12 = 4 miles stroller walk
    7/13 = strength training
    7/14 = 1 mile quick walk
    7/15 = 5 miler run, woohoo! Perfect weather this morning.
    7/16 = rest day
    7/17 = 4 miles, hot and humid.

    Sorry for not been very interactive. My new baby is going through a phase (hopefully?) where I am literally not allowed to leave her side. This too shall pass, I keep telling myself...

    Aww, enjoy it! Soon enough she'll be 20, walking out the door to go to work and you say "have a good night, make lots of money", and she'll just keep walking. And this will happen every time she leaves for work. On a rare occasion, you'll get a scoff. Enjoy those phases that they love you!

    12 miles yesterday in Yakima, WA on the smelliest trail I have ever run. Whose idea was it to put the trail by the sewage treatment plant or whatever that was.

    And TODAY is a rest day in Spokane. Man I love those. Three full weeks of my Nike+Running "crush your pr" coaching plan and I am 100% following plan. 5 weeks to Bridge if the Gods Half, and 13 to the Hayden Lake Marathon.

    Thanks for being here for me, to read my reports!

    7/1 - 3.3 miles - usually my rest day, but keeping my streak alive (3 more days!)
    7/2 - 4.6 miles while eating lots of breakfast gnats yuck!

    7/5 - rest day and travel to El Paso ugh what a trip
    7/6 - 2.5 horrible dreadmill miles
    7/7 - 4.2 miles and 2.25 - went and ran where my boss told me. It was beautiful. It was like 90 and no shade during the run and my breathing is taking a beating, but it was worth to 30 min drive to get there.
    7/8 - 5.5 miles
    7/9 - 3.7 miles
    7/10 rest day

    7/16 - 5 miles
    7/17 - 3.4 miles
    7/18 - 1.6 miles just to move - 2 miles after with Macy. We were at the top of the street and I let Macy off the leash she ran to a neighbor's yard and laid under a tree. I said do you want to going swimming? She jumped up took off down to our house and stood at the front door, I let her out back and she jumped into the pool. Smart doggie.

    @jorocka great job getting out in the rain to run some magical miles
    @runningmischka every stage ends, when it's replaced by another LOL I have to say though Skip is 15 and if she never had to leave my side that would be good for her. She's at soccer camp and has called me twice a day and texts every chance she gets. She tells me all the time I'm her best friend and she'd rather be with me than her friends. I'm taking advantage of it because I know the time will come that some boy will make that change :disappointed: But I do know it's hard when you can't put them down or get out of their line of sight without the crying.
    @jimcrackindandy have a great race tomorrow
    @7lenny7 and @karllundy you are both too funny about the shoes. As you know Allen is away, he is a girl with shoes too, so far he's ordered online 2 pairs of shoes and 1 pair of boots that have arrived here. Though I admit I'd never get into a count with him either!
    @melaniefave41 sorry about the cut on your foot ouch. Love the Wizard of Oz.

    You will do great!

    @Runningmischka - my kids both went through that, especially my daughter. I couldn't stand to have them cry, so I carried them around all the time it seemed. And daughter was 10 pounds/23" at birth so it wasn't an easy load!

    @419er - lol - sounds awful running by something like that!

    July 1 - rest
    July 2 - 3.75 run/walk combo
    July 3 - 5 miles
    July 4 - 5.76 miles
    July 5 - walked 5 miles in morning to scout out a place to do long run. Then walked another 6 all around the city.
    July 6 - rest
    July 7 - 8.6 - fun run to Roosevelt Island and then around the island. Weather is great for me!
    July 8 - 4.1 miles
    July 9 - 3.51 miles - last run with daughter until HM in October. :(
    July 10 - 5.2 miles in the hills of Virginia.
    July 11 - 3.5
    July 12 - 4.3 very slow miles
    July 13 - rest
    July 14 - 9.26 miles
    July 15- rest day - driving back to FL day.
    July 16 - strength training
    July 17 - 5.62 - back in the Florida heat! Wasn’t as bad as I imagined it would be.
    July 18 - 34 mile bike ride -- first bike ride this month. It was brutally hot even though we leave at 7:30.

    @skippygirlsmom wow! 15 and she loves you? Mine seemed to outgrow me about that age. Once in a while my daughter wants to eat sushi or shop with me, and shes a normal, loving, and an enjoyable kid. But most of the time she just rolls her eyes at me. I'm so jealous, but so glad you and she have that relationship! But her twin brother is a bit of a mommy's boy still. He's always my buddy.
