Day 10: 6 miles

Today was the second day on my running streak that I ran without the stroller. I decided to take advantage of that fact, and run a longer 6-miler (6.07 to be exact.) I ran at a decent pace (8:53/mile) which was pretty good considering part of my run was on a trail, and it was icy and muddy. I'm surprised how good I feel 10 days in. My legs aren't feeling too heavy yet, and all of my runs to this point have been 3 miles or longer. It was really nice to run without the stroller. Even though I am pretty used to running with it, it makes runs like today feel much easier. My total mileage for 10 days is 39.47. Travis ran 3.1 today, and I'm a couple miles ahead of him right now...even though we keep saying it's not a competition!

Avery was happy not to go on the run today too. It was only 22 degrees. Speaking of Avery, her new favorite word is "cuckoo" from...a The Sound of Music Live!! I had it on yesterday because. I dvr'd it, and when that song came on, she started repeating it! It made my night. She will learn to love 'The Sound of Music' just like me, although I will make sure she sees the Julie Andrews movie :)

We put up our outside lights, and we're getting our tree tomorrow! Yay! Now we're just enjoying the evening, drinking some Gluhwein and Winter Lager, and I'm waiting for my first attempt at pumpkin praline cheesecake to cool in the fridge!
