Finally.

The week did not get off to the start I was hoping.

Instead of a run outside, or even on the treadmill, it started with a run to the clinic.

But, the baby is on an antibiotic. And hopefully we can kick this cold for good.

Today, I was determined to get in a workout.

And with the slightest hint of spring in the air, I decided to do an outside run.

I have no doubt both my distance and my time would have better on the treadmill,

but few things beat a good dose of fresh air.

So ...

I ran for the first time since my shin splints.

I ran outside for the first time since our sneak peak of spring in early February.

I ran and pushed the jogging stroller since last summer/fall!!

Distance was 2.5 miles.

Time was 33.40

Equaling a pace of about 13.47/mile.

Not too shabby.

Now, to look forward to obstacle free days ahead.

(A girl can hope.)

And take today and keep on running!
