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
6.00

I set out on my run this morning thinking of just running 4 miles if I could and then maybe adding some more at the end, if I was feeling well.  At mile 2 I pass the high school track, when I got there my ankles were hurting a bit and I though it might be nice to run on a softer surface for a mile and then take a short cut home.  So I ran a mile on the track and felt great, I decided to add .5 more and then another .5 and then I thought why not another mile?  So after the 2 miles to the track, 3 miles on the track I added one more mile on a short cut home and stopped at our garden.  We have a community garden plot which is nice but we have to water it with a hose.  I watered the garden and then walked home.  I was excited to be able to run 6 miles without the crazy pains that have been plaguing me the last two weeks.

Great job this morning! I'm glad you were feeling so good. What are you growing in your garden?

We are just growing tomatoes and beans. We are growing the garden for production mostly and not variety. We planted a ton of tomato plants and not quite as many beans. We will can them all in the fall and then next year we will plant a ton of beans and not as many tomatoes. Beans and tomatoes are the two vegetables we like to can.
