Today I did an 8 mile run. Since my husband is out of town, I took the older kids to school, then headed to the park with Nick in his stroller. I walked on the way there for a warm-up. The distance of the track at the park is 5/8 of a mile, and I was a little worried that the run would be tedious; to accomplish 8 miles, I had to do 13 laps! Strangely, I had a great run! It was actually a fun challenge to do that distance around the loop, pushing the jogger, and it went by surprisingly fast. I mean, my pace wasn't super fast, averaging about 11:30min/mile, but it didn't feel too monotonous. It sure as heck beats trying to do 8 miles on the treadmill! After walking back home from the park, I did some simple stretches as a cool down.
