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 decided to do a little speed work today so I ran for 3 minutes at 7mph then walked 3 min at 3mph etc until I did 2 miles then I just ran the last mile at my normal 5mph pace.  It seemed pretty wimpy that I could only muster the faster speed for 3 minutes at a time but I will improve.  When I went back to my normal pace it seemed so easy which is a good sign.  Maybe the speed work will make my long run on Sat. seem easy because I'll do it at the slow pace.

Way to add some speed work in! I didn't start doing speed work until last year. It really helps.

So what is up lately? How is your running?

Hey Kathie! I just took a few days off to do my long run today. I'm still pushing ahead and planning to run the 1/2. Are you going to sign up for it?
