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 am back from my long blog break.  We were out of town for 11 days and in the mountains with no internet for awhile so I couldn't blog and then it was just hard to get back into the habit.  I had such a great time on vacation it was really hard to come back last week.  I spent last week busy with a church activity, laundry, shopping for the scout's high adventure and then having my husband gone for the high adventure.  While he was gone, I painted the dining room furniture.  It looks really nice, I just have a few touch ups to do.  Whenever Ben goes out of town I always end up doing some crazy project to fill my time.  In running news, my absence of blogging does not mean I have not been running.  The running is going relatively well for 34 weeks pregnant.  

I have been running a little less often but have been able to run 3-4 miles without stopping from pain.  I think cutting back from running everyday has allowed healing time so I don't experience as much abdominal pain while running.  I remember thinking, "if I can just keep running until 30 weeks that will be good, now I am 34 and still going, I think I look pretty silly with a giant belly but oh well.  

I will be more diligent about actually reporting my running, but it is nothing spectacular.

YEAHHHH It's nice to have you back on the blog block. Glad you enjoyed your vacation. I think next time your husband does out of town, you should come to my house. I've got plenty of painting projects you could do with me. Painting scares me, so I never get started.

My daughter actually gave me painting (on a canvas) lessons for one of her personal progress goals. You know you need help with the young women are giving you lessons :-)

It's wonderful you're still able to run. Going every other day sounds like it was just the rest you needed. Congrats on still being able to run this far into your pregnancy.

Great to have you back blogging!
