My fastest 5K!

I was up visiting my mom this weekend and I was a little unsure as to whether I'd be able to get a run in. Friday we arrived and we helped with much needed yard work for a few hours and loving the warm temperatures! Than we headed in for some dinner. I put my girls into the tub and asked my mom if she minded if I went for a quick run (hubby stayed home). It was 7:30pm.

So how did I get in my fastest 5K? Well, it was 7:30pm and I didn't want to run in the dark...at all. Strange area, dark roads, drunken cottagers. So I was going at a great pace and thought wow I could make this a fast one. Than I realized I forgot to get the kids' pj's out and figured I better hustle it. I got to my last block and went fast to finish in 32mins! Which is my fastest ever and that is with a hillier than my normal flat run. So I was quite happy. I made it home and of course I had nothing to worry about, still some daylight and the girls were in their pj's.

The next morning I wanted to get a long run in but I was not feeling it. I assumed I was exhausted from my previous nights run. It was only 12hrs between the 2. But I still did a decent time 7.4K in 55min. Not too bad.

Tomorrow I'm planning a long run, I hope I can survive it! I realized that one of my runs I was doing was actually 12K and not 10K so I've been misrecording that run. No wonder it felt like forever! I'm certain I can do a half now, I just need to keep my training up.

That is all from me, my girls were very spoiled by the Easter Bunny as he visited 5 different houses for them! Good Grief Charlie Brown, I've got oodles of chocolate and marshmellowy things hanging around now.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and were able to enjoy all things around them!
