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 fully intended on running this morning and then plans changed.  The joys of motherhood!  My 4 year old son came in our room at 5:30 and my husband took him back to bed.  Then he came in again at 5:40.  I knew it would be a bad day if he didn't get more sleep because he usually wakes up around 8:30.  To try and make things better I went and laid in his bed with him to see if he would go back to sleep.  When 6:00 came and it was time to run he still wasn't asleep.  I decided it was more important for him to get some sleep then for me to run so I kept laying with him.  Finally he fell asleep, I tried to roll out of the bed and go ride the bike for a little exercise since  my husband was then leaving for work.(My running window is very little, barely enough for 4 miles which is why I don't do more.)  However, when I rolled out of his bed, he woke up and threw up.  I guess that is why he was up early and not sleeping good.  The noise woke up the older brother in the room and at 6:30, we were all awake what a joy.  We had some early morning commitments at the school and I had errands to do so I completely bagged exercise all together.  What a day, I am pretty tired and didn't even get a run in:(

ugghhh...what a crazy morning for you and the whole family!! I think you deserve some time out for a run (or a run to the ice cream store) after a morning like that! I hope the little one gets better and that you get some sleep!

Sounds like a full and hectic day--hope you find a little energy tonight!

You really had a rough morning. Don't worry about missing the run. Your family is more important. I hope that D is feeling better.

Wow, sorry about the rough day Michelle. I hope your day gets better and that you have a great weekend. I'm sure you'll get in a good run to make up for it.
