Distance: 1 mi

Time: N/A

Intervals run/Walk: Just listened to our bodies

As I've mentioned, I am training for a 5k on July 4, well the other day one of my kids decided that they wanted to run the 1 mile race on the same day, so we went out today for our first training session. We took it easy, walking the .5 miles to the jogging path as  a warm up and then running a mile out 'n back and then walking back home as our cool down. It went really well and we had a blast doing it. 

I was pushing a jogging stroller which was very educational. I have always found it easier to run on flat ground while pushing a jogging stroller (up or down hills is another story :( ) and today I found that as the stroller helped me maintain my pace without as much effort on my part, I was able to concintrate on my form and I think I felt the beginnings of the true form--one without pushing off or twisting, just placing my feet to support me and then lifting them back up as quickly. It will be nice to see how this helps me tomorrow when I'm all on my own.
