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 did the elliptical again today.  I think I will do the elliptical tomorrow as well and then try running on Thursday.  My calves are really sore from the Saturday elliptical workout.  I can tell that different muscles are being used than in running.

 I also did a 60 minute P90X workout, core synergistics.  I have taken two weeks off of P90X because my friend I do the workout with was out of town so I just ran more and then hurt my hip.  It is good to get back to the P90X, but it was tough!  I can tell I took a little time off.

  I have a goal to eat more fruits and vegetables.  Really, if you are going to get the recommended servings you have to have a fruit or vegetable every meal and for snacks.  I have only eaten an orange so far today but I am trying to be more conscious about increasing my intake.

That's a very good goal. I tend to do better on the fruit intake than on the vegetables. So far today (breakfast and lunch), I've had 1/2 grapefruit, some baby carrots, a big celery stick, and some grapes.

I wondered whether you'd get back to P90X today. Good job!

I'm with Carolyn! A VERY good goal. Nice job getting back at things, this time of year we know we should, but its so hard to just do it!
