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.

I'm taking another go at this before I get too fat and uncomfortable to run at all.  I just did 3 easy miles with running and walking intervals.  On the boring treadmill of course but I did get it done.  I'm still in the tired stage but I think it's getting better.

Pretty wimpy distance but I've really been lazy lately...and tired and busy but still.  Anyhow, I'm really going to try and put forth the effort to at least do a mile every day, except for Sunday and we'll see about Saturdays.  I know I can't go anymore without consistent exercise or I will not start again until after I have my baby.

Well, 2 days in a row again but I am determined not to keep this up all week.  I started the kid's home school and running is part of my routine so hopefully I will keep it up.  Once again, I know it's not very far but #1 I am  pressed for time and #2 I just don't have that much energy or stamina right now.  I just have to keep reminding myself that this is way more than I was doing 6 months ago so it's all good.

Finally got back on the treadmill today.  I hope that I can keep it up the rest of the week.

I did more walking today but did go a little further.  I am starting to feel like the pregnancy is making running harder but I want to stay in shape at least a little so that it's not so hard to get back into running after I have the baby.
