7 Miles in 1 Hour and 15 Minutes

If you read my blog then you know I am training for the Rock - n- Roll Marathon. I usually run with the Marine Corps but this morning I thought it best to train with the Catalina and LA group which runs 10 - 13 minute miles b/c Ashby and I ran together this morning. Aaron is out of town till this afternoon and since I had to push Ashby in the stroller I thought it would be wise to leave earlier.

We ran 7 miles in 1 hour 15 minutes together through Coronado. It was AWESOME and Ashby was EXCELLENT. I had tons of healthy and not so healthy snacks but the big treat was when I gave her my mini water bottle from my fuel belt. Who would have guessed that the water bottle would give me two miles of silence. I am super proud of myself and my little girl.

Of course, since I do not plan on taking Ashby on all my long runs I had to have a photo of this milestone. Mommy and daughter together - being healthy.





After the run, there is usually a seminar. Luckily, they moved the workshop away from the playground. Ashby played for awhile but I was worried she would not let me sit and RELAX on the blanket.



Now, we are home and I am blogging while my legs relax and Ashby is showing Minnie Mouse her twin on t.v.
