Yesterday I broke my run into an easy 5 in the morning and another 2.5 in the afternoon with the kids in the stroller. Elle is a petite 29 lbs at 3 years old but Buddy at 16 months is a 27 lb beast so their combined weight along with the stroller forced me to go pretty slow. We had a good time.. it was sunny and 75 degrees... perfect for running or loading up on pretzels and lemonade.
This morning I felt a little sluggish and had a tough time mentally making it through 6.5 miles. I have been forcing myself to run slow lately on my easy days because I am scared that I am not allowing myself to recover completely. Sometimes the slow runs feel harder than the quicker ones.

What is it about boys? Ours seems pretty massive too and not much lighter than our girl, even though they're 22 months and 4 years respectively.
I'm convinced running with the stroller (especially the double) makes me run leaning forward a bit, so my calves and quads end up more sore from the different posture.
Glad to hear the weather is cooperating, it should be 95 here today.
