I ran today and created another rule for myself. I'm not sure how long I'll keep it up, but for now it sounds good. I've decided not to be so concerned with how far I run, distance wise. I'll still keep track of my time and try never to go below 25 minutes (per rule #1) but I think for me it is important to be able to run for 30 minutes (for example) before I worry about how far I actually go. I'm sure that eventually I will start running faster, and won't in be a pleasant surprise to someday find out that in 30 minutes I actually covered 3 miles!
I do plan on someday soon going to an actual track and timing my official 1 mile time, so I have an idea of what I can do. Then someday I can compare and see if I've gotten any faster.
Today I ran for 26:01, and would have probably gone for another minute or so if a loose dog hadn't started following us. Poor Moxie was being so good but kept straining to turn around and look at it, and then it started trying to play with her. Not too easy to deal with while pushing Laura in the stroller, so I stopped. It was hot today, and I was about ready to take off my shirt if I wasn't so pale and flabby!

After my run yesterday afternoon, I can understand wanting to take your shirt off -- yuck....
I found another new route for us though - very pretty, and hardly any traffic at all!
