I read a really good book. One of the best that I've read in a long while!
It was "Hotel on The Corner of Bitter and Sweet" by Jamie Ford.
Truely amazing book that took place in Seattle during WWII. A love story between a Chinese boy and Japanese girl who was sent away to a work camp during that time. I can't even begin to describe how good it was. Just read it!

Running with a single stroller is so much easier than a double
Today I decided to do my "long" run which was only 3 miles. But it was a little easier since I took older child in the single jog stroller which saved me some weight to push. As my runs get longer I hope to free myself of the stroller but we'll see, it's hard to manage two kiddos and breast feeding as well as working out. Hopefully it gets easier.
Last week I was able to do two mid-week runs up to 2 miles each and then my 3-miler this weekend so I'm slowly building up. I have 9 weeks till the big race day. I read the greatest quote in this month's Runner's World last night which basically fits me to a T right now. The article was about running with little rest.
"Set Realistic Goals: If you have a newborn, it may not be the time to go for an ambitious PR. Scale back your expectations so they reflect your current circumstances. Remember, he'll grow up eventually."
