OhMom - glad to hear the CT came back clear, although I guess that doesn't help them figure out what it wrong! hang in there and hope you feel better soon! Happy birthday to you and your daughter!

I don't have a workout buddy in "real life" but the support of this group is just as good!
Mejkjj97 - I usually workout/run 3-4 times a week - the goal is 4 but sometimes I only get in 3. It is hard with little kids - I know when my kids were younger I didn't workout much at all - took a lot of walks with them in their strollers or walks later at night when they were in bed. Even now (they're 7 and 4) I still go run later in the evening, closer to bedtime, so I don't miss as much and am not gone that long while they're still up. In winter I would elliptical during their nap time too - any time I could squeeze it in!
As for me this week - been kind of a blah week, I ate bad again this week. I'm up a half pound today. I ran on Sunday and Monday 4 miles each. okay runs. Tuesday I didn't run but did the 30 Day Shred again - felt good but still sore - not used to it yet. Wednesday I did NOTHING except eat terrible
it was our anniversary and we went out to dinner, I ate bad...very bad. Then last night I did my long run - and it went really pretty good! This week's was 11 miles! I finished in 1:58. 
I went and got fitted for new running shoes on Monday, and also picked up some fueling products and a water bottle to carry along with me. A co-woker of mine who runs marathons told me that anything over 7 miles or so I should be "fueling" along the way, so I got some products to experiment with. I don't know for sure but it seemed to help - I had a TON more energy than last weeks 10-mile run which I felt like I was dying during. And still had a lot of energy at the end - the last 2 miles I felt like I was going pretty strong...I was tired, but was able to keep up a pretty good pace.
But MAN was I sore when I got home
- as soon as I started walking the .25 mile stretch of my cool down my calves started to ache - I thought they might cramp up on me - I just kept walking with long strides to stretch them and they luckily didn't cramp, I was worried though. Its like as soon as I stop running my entire body freezes up - stretching out afterward is tough!! So, two more weeks of building miles then I'll be done, then I just have to maintain until the half. I can't wait.
In other news - TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY WE'LL BE IN DISNEY!
First trip to WDW - Can't wait!
Hope everyone is doing well!!
