Didn't run yesterday because it was the first time all week that Neil was home in the evening and we were able to spend time together and as a family. Ran today during quiet time, stopped at 3 miles to turn on the fan and get some water, then another 2. Thought about running another one, but decided not to--fortunately, since both of the boys woke up right as I finished.
The more I think about it, the more it seems that this is not a year to be doing much long-distance training (perhaps my knee was a good way to make me slow down and realize this...). Neil is trying to work every spare minute and I've got another baby and I'm working twice as much as I did the summer where I was able to run 2 half-marathons and a 10K. This year needs a different focus, and I feel like right now I need to be putting my time somewhere else. This is something I'm sad about, but...I think that's how it needs to be right now.
5 miles; 8:54/mile
