Today's Race Update!
Today's 4 mile race...It was ONLY 4 miles, but with the heat and humidity...felt longer.
I ran a 43:20, which is around a 10:48-ish/mile. I guess with the girls at least 10#'s heavier then last year, I will use that excuse for my slow down! (Pushing the double jogger = about 100#'s)

Feedback from my book!
While at my race today, a lady walked up to me and asked me if I was the author of "On My Run with Mommy Today...". I told her, "Yes!"
She bought one of my books at Christmas time for her 2 sons. She want to let me know how much they LOVED the book!
That TOTALLY made my day!

Following my own advice...
Running with a jogging stroller rule #7: Always carry a tire pump!
Silly me.
My right tire looked a bit low. I do have a tire pump in the car. I thought to myself, "I should pump it up before I start".
Did I listen? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
So, I passed about 20 bikers, not a one had a tire pump. So I went only 5 miles today with a low tire. It felt like I was pushing 500 pounds!
So, take my advice and follow Rule # 7!
Keep running!
