Total Distance
2.00

Went to the park and ran 2 miles on the track with Justin, then played some tennis (30 minutes?).  I am a little bit better, but still sooo bad and slow at all the sprinting.

The run was great though, Justin was fast (he's actually been running a lot lately), so I struggled to keep up with him the first mile, and the second mile I ran pretty hard (for me).

I agree, that is awesome you are getting your hubby to come out and run with you as well. Also what a great sport as tennis to take up. FUN!!
