Off to a good start!

I had a great yesterday at the zoo with these guys (shhhh- don't tell the big kids! They had to go to school, bahahahha):

I am feeling really good with how this first week back to running is going.

Sunday's 5 miles felt really good. I did have some calf trouble, but nothing some additional stretching can't fix.

Monday, I took an active rest day- yoga, and some core exercises. My abs hurt so good, but please don't make me laugh!

This afternoon, I took Miss Lydia out for a run in the BOB. The temp was perfect for me, but maybe a little chilly for her, her hands were freezing! But she seemed happy enough. 3 miles in 30:01; 10:10, 10:06, 9:45- just over 10:00 minutes per mile average. But check out those negative splits! Boom! Followed by yoga.

I am planning a 5 mile run in the morning at 10k effort- which without the stroller should be about 9:20 or 9:30 pace. And then follow up with yoga and maybe some planks.

I hope you guys are having a great week!
