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.

We got a Wii fit this last weekend and I've been a slacker and have been "working out" on it instead of doing my runs.  It's a lot of fun but it's time for me to get serious about running again.  My run wasn't easy today by any means and I so didn't want to do it.  But, as usual, I'm glad I did it and feel really good now.  I have been moody and tired this week and I think not running has been part of the problem.  I am planning on running another 5K on Monday so I have to keep up the training.  I hope to run it under 30 minutes again which will probably be harder because it is a much higher altitude here than in Florida but I'll give it a shot.

Ran 3 miles on the T.M.  Very boring but played a little Wii fit after.

Matt's parents and Grandparents came yesterday and spent the night.  This morning I went running with his parents and left his Grandparents with the kids.  We went to Legacy parkway and ran 5 miles.  We did it at about 11 min miles.  It was great to get out of the house and of the treadmill and great to have people to run with.   I got pretty tired at 3 miles but they pushed me to do the full 5.
