This week I enjoyed having dad as my running companion. We ran six days. Some days were easier than others. Wednesday was just a run to the park followed by playing and then running home. Saturday's a trail run of 7 miles. Our weekly total ended up being approximately 26 miles. My body is feelings this. I pushed the double jogger on four days, a single stroller on one day and no stroller on Saturday. There are so many more hills here that my body is still adjusting to it and we are at a slightly higher elevation as well.
What is amazing is that dad ran with me each time. Because of the winter in FInland, he hasn't been running for months and he was just able to keep up with me. Pretty impressive. I'm not saying that I am that fast but it is not easy to run 25 miles a week after no running.
We have enjoyed the desert scenery. I can't believe I am saying that but I find it peaceful and (again) find myself so happy with our decision to move here. Dad did get attacked by a jumping cholla and I stepped on something that poked a thorn through my shoe.
Today was a much needed rest day. I napped. I ate some chocolate. It was blissful and my body said "thank you". Especially for the chocolates.

You go, girl! And how fun that you have your dad there with you. Send him our love!
You. Are. Amazing.
Good luck!
you can do it! i love having little things that aren't related to me being a mom that make me feel good about myself.
I am glad you are pushing the double troller because otherwise I could not keep up with you.
I know you can make the 1 000 miles Eevi.
I know, after awhile it gets old feeling like your body is everyone else's property except your own. So you go girl!
