Wade road. still building up strength. This run was faster than others probably b/c I didn't run yesterday.

Also ran in the evening with my family. Trying to help the older kids build up to running throughout a 5k.

Ran a 5k with my family for my birthday/mother's day. It was a fun little race depite being out of shape. I was 1.5 minutes of my PR and 2.5 minutes off of where I would like to be for a 5k but it was a nice run. My wife and kids all got a PR and my kids are getting much better they were able to run probably 50% of the race.

Had to work early again so ran by the hospital. The last half mile was while carrying 12 donuts to the techs for helping me out this AM. I almost puked in Dunkin donuts because I had a lot of phlegm from the heat.

So I haven't ran up wasson peak at all this year. Just been too busy. A friend of mine that recently started running and had been wanting to try this is moving so I decided I should take him. I am out of shape compared to last year but the run felt great. ai need to do this more. Amazingly my time wasn't a lot slower than usual. I think having someone along with me really pushed me. I would have walked a lot more if he wasn't there.

After I got back I ran 1.3 with my kids.
