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
2.75

Walked 1/2 mile, Ran 2 1/4 miles at 5mph.  Added my 1/4 mile to my run today for the first time this week.  All I can say is "I made it".  Instead of music I listened to an audiobook today.  I also did my push-ups.  I am on week three and have up-graded to column 3.  My exhaustion test when I started was 10.  My exhaustion test for starting this week was 26!  So, I am getting stronger.  I'm also starting to see some weight come off which is keeping me motivated.

Weight: 160.00

Yeah Susie! You are doing Julie's challenge too right? I hope you win!

Thanks Kathie. I am doing the challenge, between that and this blog I'm motivated to keep going. I guess if I don't win I'll at least be in better shape and look a lot better!

Nice job and great start to the week. First day is always the hardest.
