Marathon Finish

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.

Total Distance
4.00

I feel like I haven't blogged in awhile.  I have been a bit out of it, but I think I am back to a consistent schedule now.  My foot is hurting me so I hope that doesn't become an issue.

The 4 miles today felt sluggish and a bit slow.  I think it comes from running the 1/2 on Saturday and then coming back to hills and higher altitude.  I really like racing at lower altitude, it feels so much easier to be able to actually breath.

Is it that toe that's still hurting you? Maybe you need to get it looked at.

Good job getting back to the routine.

One of the benefits of training at high altitude is that it makes racing a lower altitude feel easier. Hooray for living in Denver!

Denver is so beautiful- the altitude training is just a great bonus! But it does seem harder to breathe and run when you've been away.

Hope your toe/foot gets better.

Stink! I hope the pain goes away and quickly. Gotta love the 'professional' air you get to train in :)

I'm sure the sluggishness is the 'hang over' from the race. Take it easy and heal quickly.

Hope you recover soon! I know what you mean about the altitude. I tried running the STG marathon w/o any altitude training last year. I didn't do very well.
