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.

Total Distance
3.50

Monday again...time to add 1/4 mile to my normal run.  Was able to finish whole 3 mile run at 5mph.  Tried to focus more on my form today running more on my toes than heel to toe.  Did a 1/2 mile walk.  I think my endurance is improving though it is still quite boring on the TM.

Did push-ups and sit-ups.

Thanks for the invite. What time do you usually run? I am planning on walking with the kids down to lunch bunch tomorrow afternoon, and I'm afraid if I run in the morning then I won't have the energy to do that too. I would definitely love to run with you next Tuesday though, just tell me when and where as long as we can be back before 8:00am.

Sorry Kathie, that last post was obviously not from you but from me...that's what happens when I try to type and listen to the kids at the same time.
