When the Training Gets Tough, Bring the Baby

Nothing is worse than hitting a wall during training. I'm tired, grumpy, sore and unmotivated. Babies don't care when you're tired, they are always up for an adventure so my niece was enough motivation to get me out for a run. We went up behind sis's house in La Verne which is such an awesome place to train for hilly courses. I've been training for Wildflower and Vineman which both have a lot of hills so I figure with the hills combined with added stroller/baby weight, I'd have a good workout. Here's a few photos with my coach and I ;-) 


You can do it Uncle Buck!
Giving me a pep talk before I charge a hill
Long gradual hill that goes for miles
This guy didn't make it to the top
One day she'll be my running partner :-)
