I totally know what you mean about finding time to go running with a little one. I finally just pulled out the stroller and did it. I'm now thinking of investing in a jogging stroller, lol (never thought I would hear myself saying I was going to invest in something so I could run!). I have been going right after dusk since I don't want to run in the heat, and I'm not really ready to go running past everyone during the day.
Funny thing is, even though I had a hard time last night for Day 2...I kinda wanted to go for day 3 tonight! I had to hold myself back not go out and do it since you are supposed to wait a day inbetween, lmao. I am already looking forward to tomorrow night and dreading it all at the same time.

Well, this past week has been a little lighter, but it works out well since I am going to do that 5K this Saturday and needed to take it a little easier so I am at 100% for the race. I'll be happy with any time under 30 min (but lower would be better!) since I haven't done a race in a while.
Has anyone ever done the original FIRM from the 80's? Well I only did 40 minutes of it today and my arms and legs are numb! Anywho, that's 40 more minutes to add
I just met my August goal with my walking when I was on a business trip this week! Yeah! I will be well over it because I have a big hike scheduled on Saturday too. I am pleased to be getting the minutes in and will keep working on consistency. Need to start thinking about September's plan.
