I met a bunch of friends to do the loop around Sugar Leo and the Bloomington River Trail. This wasn't as relaxed as "Fun Fridays" normally are. This was a little challenging to push the pace after yesterday's workout. My legs were pretty tired from that tempo run, but I was able to hang with the slower group and even chat with them while running. Ave pace: 8:10 for the 5.25 miles.
About an hour after I got back, I took all the kids over to the Deseret Hills Track and a few neighbors came and some other friends. I ran a lap with Alex and Austin, pushing the jogging stroller. (I am totally counting that .25 in my mileage-haha). The kids ran a couple laps to warm up, then we did a few 100m races, then we went up the the upper soccer field and played a few games like freeze tag, red rover, red light/green light. Our idea here is to get the kids out moving around and just have fun. I think they enjoyed it and we will try to do this once a week this summer in addition to swimming for exercise for the kids.
