You spell tough...D-O-U-B-L-E J-O-G-G-E-R!

So all is well in the double jogger department...LOVE IT! It's so nice to have them both in the stroller and not worry about one running away or having to carry the other. It also means that on those days where Bryant is too busy that I can run with the kids! Today was our first outing and it was great! They loved it! I took them to the JR parkway trail. I only did a 5K but man, it was tough! I figured that I was pushing around 75 lbs! It was a great workout to say the least.

Monday: 6 mile bike ride up Temple Quarry Trail
Tuesday: 6.1 miles, 43:00, Average 7:05 pace
Wednesday: 3.1 miles, 23:30, Average 7:20 pace

Awesome Deal

I was on KSL yesterday and saw an ad from a lady in Orem. She has a Kelty double jogging stroller that she wants to trade for a nice single jogging stroller so I called and she is going to trade it with me!!! How awesome is that? I don't have to spend a dime on a new stroller! Kelty is a great brand and I've done some research on this specific one and it retails for over $420!!! I'm super excited!

Monday: 5.1 miles, 35:35, Average 7:05 miles
Tuesday: 4 miles at the track; 1 mile warm up, 2x800 (2:55) 1:30 rest, 4x400 (1:25) 1:00 rest, 1 mile cool down
Thursday: 6.1 miles 46:00 (I ran with the jogger!) Average 7:35 miles

Anyone? Anyone?

This is my jogging stroller. It has been awesome and I have loved it so much. But it's time to upgrade to a double (since I have two kiddos now). I've posted this on KSL with no luck over the past few days. So if anyone knows anyone who needs a nice jogger, let me know! I got it for $170 last year so I'm asking $90 for it since it's basically brand new!

Today's run was awesome! I ran from my house all the way up to the top of 4500 south and Wasatch Blvd. That is 6.5 miles straight uphill! It kicked my trash! I loved it! Then I had a nice downhill for the last 5.1 miles. I was able to keep all the uphill around 8:00 miles and the down 7:00 miles.

11.6 miles, 1 hr. 29 min., Average 7:40 pace

Feeling good!

Once again I am late in posting my recent runs, but last Thursday was great at the track! I did a 400, 800, 1200, 800, 400, 800, 400 at 1:27 pace with one minute rest. It was super tough but awesome and I felt really strong.

On Saturday I didn't think I would fit a run in because we had a busy day but I found time to go hit the pipeline trail up Millcreek canyon. It was super hot but always enjoyable. A nice easy 10K at 7:30 pace.
