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

3.75

I don't get to log a race report like the rest of my family since I was on kid duty. It was a fun day though. The kids ran the 200m and Matt ran the 10K. Everyone did great. Then we went out for lunch at Carl's Jr. When we got home I changed into my running clothes and Matt dropped me off at the temple and I ran home. There was one stretch of a pretty good uphill but the majority was downhill. I also had a pretty strong headwind which wore me out faster but did a better job of keeping me cool than my treadmill fan. Overall I did a split of 10:49. For me that is really good! I'm still trying to work up to being able to do a 5K with a split of 10:00 or under...I think I'm getting closer. I guess especially if it was a flat course because that uphill about killed me. First thing in the morning would probably also help because I slow down the later it gets. It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time...I think I need a nap now though.

Let's hear the real story. Was your husband able to keep all the Carl's Jr. food down?

Hey that's his normal meal he orders whenever we go.

Congrats on getting out. Sounds like you had a great run. That wind really picked up in the afternoon. Glad you enjoyed your day.

I like reading your reports. I'm trying to get a 5K under a 10 minute pace as well. I think you are a bit closer than I am though.
