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

5.50

I'm not as sore as I thought I would be after my long run on Sat. I was pretty sore on Sun. but feeling pretty good today. After about my first mile my right knee started hurting pretty bad so I stopped and stretched some more and then just kept running. The pain went away and I was able to finish my 5 mile run. The last 1/4 mile I increased the incline to 2% just so I could feel the burn more. Actually it just decreases the monotony a little so I can push myself through. I walked 1/2 mile for my warm-up/cool down. Now, just in case I haven't gotten enough exercise, I will go out and mow the front yard. 5 Miles felt hard today.

Hey I thought I saw you running outside today on my run. I was trying to catch up to you and then you turned. Now that I read you ran on the treadmill I am glad I didn't catch up to who ever it was :)

I always speed up or increase the incline when I am bored on the treadmill too.

Nice run today Susie. That's a long way for the first day of the week.

That's really funny Kathy. I'm glad you didn't catch my evil twin, she's not as nice as me :). You were probably wondering why you couldn't catch me because she was probably running faster than I could run!

Thanks for the encouragement Jun, it's amazing how far you've come in such a short time. It reminds me to keep pushing it.
