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.

I really some days just want to quit my training but I'm less than 2 weeks away from my race and just have to keep pushing through it.  Today was 5 miles and it should've felt easier but my legs were really feeling it by the end.  Mostly I think it's just because I'm so tired all the time.  I sure hope my long run this weekend doesn't feel twice as hard as my short run felt today.

Well, I took off yesterday but did my run again today.  We are leaving for a family reunion tonight and will be gone all weekend so I hope I will have time to get in one last long run before the race next week.  It would be nice to do it to be reassured that I can go the distance (kind of like Hercules).  Anyhow, finished the run today and again it just felt harder than it should.  I'm just tired and dizzy and not feeling my normal self so I guess we'll see.
