Day 37- 3 Miles With My Peanut

Last night I got a whole 4 hours of sleep.  My daughter hasn't been sleeping well since we moved to Texas.  Anyway, I didn't get out for my run until 1:00pm or so.  By then the temperature was 88 degrees ("feels like" temp of 91) and the humidity was at 50%.  HOT!  I blew up the tires in the jogging stroller before we left.  I didn't take water because I didn't want to be tempted to stop and drink it.  I did have to stop though because my headphones got caught on the handle for the break on the jogger and it ripped my iPod out of my pocket and the chord came out of it leaving my iPod on the ground and me highly annoyed.  Really?  I WANT TO RUN WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP!  I stopped another time to cover Addy's face with her sun hat. She fell asleep and the side of her face was exposed to the sun.  I didn't put any sunblock on her face since she was wearing her hat but I put it everywhere else.  I've been really frustrated with myself lately because of my pace and having to stop while running for whatever reason (water, wardrobe malfunctions, Addy chucking her shoes out of the jogger, being too hot...).  I need to give myself a break.  I'm starting to dread going for my runs, which has never happened to me before.  I need to pull myself out of this funk because I know I can do this.  Running is my therapy...it usually helps me clear my head but I think I've been focusing too much on how slow I am (hello?!  Pushing a 27lb toddler in a jogger would slow anyone down)!  I'm just frustrated with my long run pace, though.  That's when I do my solo runs with no jogger and Addy stays home and hangs out with her dad.  I'm repeating week 5 of training this week so I'll be doing 9 miles again this weekend.  I'm hoping for a much better pace than last Saturday.  The first time I ran 9 miles last summer it took me an hour and 27 minutes...this passed Saturday it took me 1:36:48.  I'm not ok with that!  I should be improving, not getting slower.  I need to get the negative thoughts out of my head and start thinking positively.  I know I can do it, I've done it before.   I can do this!  Lol.  ;o)
