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.
I was able to run a whole mile at 5mph! I did 1/2 mile walk. It felt great to be able to just keep going. I didn't have any pain or trouble breathing this time. I'm excited that I've gotten to this point much faster than I did last year when I just barely started running. I think I will train to run a 1/2 marathon again.
Weight: 165.50
