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 slept in this morning and it was wonderful!  I was ready to do my P90X workout at 8:40 when my friend usually shows up.  I waited, then made my bed, then got me kids dressed, then looked at birthday cakes for my daughter.  I was wondering where she was when I realized at 8:55, I was supposed to go to her house this morning.  It was pretty funny.  So I called her and then got to her house quickly and we did the cardio workout from P90X.  It was a good workout.

Incidentally, I can feel that my hips are tired from the workout.  Not sore but there was a lot of kicking front, side and back, and I can feel my hips are being worked.  Hopefully that helps strengthen my hip.

Good job on P90X today.

Birthday cakes for your daughter? When is her birthday? Shouldn't you be looking at birthday cakes for yourself? That reminds me. I should ask Sam if he wants a birthday cake (he doesn't like chocolate (go figure) and we're not much of a cake family).

Madeline's birthday is the 10, this Sunday. I usually make a fun cake for the kids but for me, I am buying an ice cream cake. I don't really care for cake but ice cream, I love! Maybe Sam would want doughnuts, that sounds tasty.

Ice cream cake sounds much better than regular cake! I'll have to remember that when my birthday comes around.

I'll have to ask Sam about doughnuts. I normally make a breakfast cake on birthdays. I'll have to see which he prefers. We normally do a birthday breakfast.

I've heard that p90x is a great workout. Funny story about getting locations mixed up. How nice you've got someone to "kick it up" with.

I'm sure your hip is getting stronger with the workouts. It's a good sign that it didn't hurt.

Will you still be running on Thursday if the Freezing Fog sticks around?

I love cake and ice cream. Birthday Breakfasts sound fun, but I'm thinking they'd require too much work at such an early hour. Cold Stone has very yummy ice cream cakes.

My daughter wants a jell-o cake for her birthday at the end of the month. Strange girl!

I have never heard of jelly cake, it does sound a little strange. Yes I will run in the freezing fog, I will just have to bundle up.

I got my b-day cake last year from Cold Stone and I liked it but I think I am going to try Baskin Robins this year.

mmm...ice cream cakes. QP - a jello cake? What is that girl thinking? I'd think she'd want a chocolate PB one!

So, Michelle...when IS your b-day? I'm assuming it's soon. Nice work getting that p90X workout in, those things are brutal! However, no hip pain is great. Any balancing maneuvers will help with strength.

RAD- my birthday is tomorrow. It will be a good present to myself to go on a run after a little break, hopefully without pain.

I don't know what she's thinking with jell-o. I had a thought to take a big punch bowl and make a rainbow layered jell-o cake in it. Maybe we could put something fun in the middle of the mold. She likes to act like Dwight sometimes, but I think a stapler would be a waste.

Good workout Michelle! I've never tried P90X. A lot of my coworkers have tried it and seem to only last a couple weeks. Hope you run today goes well! Happy Birthday!
