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.

Slowly but surely I'm getting into better shape.  Mostly because of this blog and the support I receive on here, I'm able to push through not wanting to run and do it anyways.  Without fail, I always feel great once I'm done.  I ran 5 today and walked .5.  When I came upstairs after my run there were cornflakes spread all over the kitchen floor.  I've just learned to expect trouble to happen while I'm on the treadmill!  Nothing a broom couldn't fix this time though.

It would be a travesty for you to say those nice things about this site and no one respond to you. So I think you. It has been fun to meet you, run with your husband, and see your cute kids. Glad you are doing so well at meeting your goals. keep it up!
