Running Accomplishments:

I have run 5K throughout my life.  I just ran the Colder Boulder in 25:33 which is a PR for me.

I ran two half marathons this past summer and my fastest time was around 2:09:? (My chip had issues and I was given a gun time but not a chip time, but I know I finished under 2:10:00)

Short-Term Running Goals:

I want to run a marathon during the summer of 2010.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running for fitness and fun.  I would like to improve my pace to comfortably average 30 seconds faster then I run now.

Personal:

I am married and have three children.  I enjoy friends, piano, singing, crafting, and organizing/cleaning my home.

I love it when there are days off of work.  Today three great things have already happened because of no work. 

1.  I got to sleep in an hour

2. I got to run with Carolyn

3. I got to run for 6 miles

I love the extra time!  The six miles felt good not too hard, but a good run.  My husband left 2 hours ago for a 3-8 mile run.(He hadn't decided how the blister on his foot would affect his run)  I am thinking he chose more around 10 miles but even then he has been gone for a long time.  Hopefully he is not limping slowly home on a sore blister foot.

 

*Update* My husband is in deed crazy.  It turns out the 3-8 miles he was planning on went so well and he was feeling good, so he decided to make it 10.  After he ran 10 miles he was feeling good so he, "decided to add a 6 mile cool down"  Crazy.  The most he has ran in the last few months is 8.  He is now limping all over with blisters on his feet but feeling really good about running 16 miles.

I'm so glad I was able to run with you today. It was totally worth getting up to the alarm clock. Still, I slept 2 hours later than I would have on a work day.

He's been gone for 2 hours? Maybe he was feeling great and decided to go long. I hope that's what it is.

Days off are the best! Glad you got in a good run with Carolyn.

And your husband is crazy, but the good kind :)

wow, what a crazy hubby!! I'm glad your six felt good and that you got to sleep in! That is the ONLY thing I look forward to on holidays :)
