Goal Type:

Half Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

Started running Jan. 26, 2009.  I've ran 6 days a week since and have only missed 2 days.

I no longer hate to run.

 May 9, 2009 ran I-Drive 5K in Orlando FL in 29:58

Short-Term Running Goals:

Run a 5K in 30 minutes.

I have just decided to train for a half marathon.

  • July 11 Farmington Festival Days 1/2 Marathon

Long-Term Running Goals:

Continue to run even after my races and be an old running woman.  After my half I just may decide on a full marathon but right now just the thought of the half is daunting.

Personal:

I am married to Matt (Twinkies) who loves to run.  I have been the supportive wife watching him run his races and calling him crazy.  We have 4 kids.  Our oldest is 7 and our youngest is 1 1/2.  I homeschool our two oldest boys.  I have decided that I really want to lose my extra fat and get back into shape.  I have always hated to run but I think I am finally past that.  I hope to someday actually say that I love to run.  I would be proud to call myself a runner.  Most of my runs are on the treadmill because I'm unable to leave the kids home alone while I go out for a jog.

Total Distance
2.75

1/2 mile walk.  Ran 2 miles at 5mph and last 1/4mile at 5.5mph.  My youngest got in the brown sugar while I was running and left a big mess for me to clean up.  The back of my right leg, just above my knee is also feeling tight.  I've stretched it good before and after my runs but each day it seems to be getting tighter. 

Did push-ups.  Whew that was a hard day on push-ups!  I did 30 for my max (week 3, day 2, column 3).   

Weight: 0.00

Oh I hate to clean up after the kids! Don't they know how important your run is? Wow look at your max for your push-ups you are going to be so buff!

By the way I only weight five pound less than you when I ran my first marathon. (don't tell any one!)
