This entry was actually from May 24, 2009

I made it out on Saturday for another run. This one didn’t go as well as the first time. First off my legs were sore from Thursdays run and the first hill sesemed twice as hard. Secondly I took three major exercise buzz kills with me. There are some times when going out walking with your kids is a great thing…this wasn’t one of them. Pushing the stroller up over Mt. Everest Jr.(that’s it’s new name) was made harder by the pain in my calf muscles and the two other kids that thought holding on to it made it easier to push. Yep the extra weight is always helpful. I think the kids were worn out by the time we climbed Mt. Everest Jr. and the pittered out about 1/4 the way through the jog. By the time we got home they were ready for naps. I personally was ready for the pool. Too bad it still looked like swamp water.

I was talking today with a friend of mine who has also started running and we were discussing how everything, even the cheeks on your face jiggle when you run. She said she sometimes worries about how much her butt shakes up and down when she runs and I told her that I personally just hope mine is only shaking up and down and that there isn’t so much back there that it goes sideways too.
