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.

Tried to run it at a bit of a faster pace but I waited to late to run.  I've started putting off running until after the kids are in bed at night and it's a lot harder.  I'm going to try and go back to 1st thing in the morning again tomorrow.  I did some of it at 6mph and some at 5.5 but most was at my normal 5mph pace.

I ran first thing in the morning and it was definitely easier.  I also walked to the park today with the kids but I won't count that.

Today was cross-training day.  For my exercise today I picked to mow the lawn.  Man was that a workout.  It took me about 3 hours.

Today was supposed to be rest day and tomorrow is my long run but we are leaving for Florida first thing in the morning and traveling all day.  I just know I won't have time or energy so I did my long run today.  I could really feel my legs getting tired at the end but I pushed through it.  Feels good to know that at least this week I won't let vacation mess up my training.  I also signed up for a 5K in Florida next Sat in Orlando.  I'm excited as it will be my 1st official race and I'm going to be doing it on vacation!
