Carbo load


Tuesday marked 2 successes. I did my first solo 3 mile stroller run and Amazon Fresh delivered all my implements for my new obsession with bread-making (need to carbo-load to run, after all).

The run was much easier along the Burke Gilman this time - mostly because there were no headwinds and also because my trainer, Zoe was at preschool. Not surprisingly having 45 fewer pounds to push made things quite a bit easier.

Sam and I enjoyed our run to Fremont and back. I was amazed how close we are to Fremont and kind of ashamed of us for not exploring the Burke Gilman sooner. It will be a lot of fun when the kids are older and we can all ride our bikes along it.

Note for future runs - I need to remember by iPod since Sam sleeps the whole way anyway. Notes for the city of Seattle - the first .6 miles of the Burke Gilman trail could use some serious beautification efforts. Here's a photo that summarizes both thoughts.

Here's hoping some fresh baked bread boosts my pace a little.

  1. It's only -- what? -- a couple weeks old, and already your blog is making us giggle. Love the tales of running with the kids, and we're waiting to see what REALLY happens the next time Zoe asks whether you're running yet ... :-)
    Love,
