A little 5/7/12 run w/ Pooh and Friends

It's amazing what a portable DVD player will do for your workout plan (I think I should post a picture):

Courtesy of Winnie the Pooh and the Grandparents driving us back home, we were able to get a pretty nice little run in.  The nice weather helped, too.

We picked up the pace a little bit on this run - maybe not as fast as I would have liked, but neither of us were feeling particularly energized.  That said, I actually had a difficult time keeping my heart rate up into the upper 150's.  Not quite sure why that is, but I think it's the ebb and flow that you experience with the stroller... maybe, I'm actually not sure.  Maybe I'm actually getting into good shape, but I just don't feel like running.

We struggled to add mileage onto the end of our run.  It wasn't tough mentally, it was just tough because we both felt tired.  I sort of think this is a fluky deal - just need more consistent sleep and to start earlier.  Running after 7:30 on a "school night" seems to wear on both of us.  Oh well, it was a decent run and a chance to go a little faster.  I predict that we'll have a "fast" run to report sometime soon.
