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.

It was nice to get a longer run in today after taking the last two weeks a bit easy.  I ran with Carolyn and Michelle today.  We ran a route I had done once before that wanders quite a bit through some neighborhoods.  I was glad that I remembered the route from the last time I ran it.  The terrain was a little difficult in a few spots with some snow and ice covered sidewalks and a short distance on a gravel path that was covered with frozen snow.  Luckily no one got hurt.  I slipped one time but didn't fall.

It turned out to be a nice run with a bit warmer temperatures than expected, and great conversation.  Thanks for running with us Carolyn, I always enjoy Saturday morning runs.

When I got home my family was leaving to go buy Krispie Kreme doughnuts.  My husband, Ben, loves to take the kids out and buy doughnuts on Saturday mornings.  I kind of have a love/hate relationship with that habit because I love doughnuts but, I hate starting my morning with so much fat and sugar.  I also hate the fact that I can't just eat one, doughnuts call to me and I must eat more and more:)

I like Saturday morning runs with you too. I felt pretty good about today's run, despite the hills and the snow.

Don't eat too many donuts. I just drove Jacob to the school and stopped at Lamar's on the way. I waited in the car and sent him in. He got two donuts but only ate one. I'm going to save the other for him to have later, even though he said I could have it. Fortunately it's not my favorite kind.

Nice long run Michelle! Seems your hip is doing well. You deserve a few donuts =P

My hip is feeling better but it has been bothering me a little today. I think I will ice it tonight and I have tomorrow off. It is doing much better than last week.

Great Saturday! A good run with good friends, and donuts to boot?

I saw that our Krispy Kreme store is advertising triple chocolate donuts. I usually don't indulge, but with a name like triple chocolate, maybe it's worth checking out.

Glad that your hip is improving. All your hard work on resting and strengthening paid off.

Krispy Kreme's are SO amazing, I have to go when it's 'hot' so I get a free one, then I don't feel bad about eating an extra because hey! It was free.

Nice run with Carolyn! She'll keep you consistent and burn off more than you could possibly eat :)

oh, on your hip...where is your pain? I must've missed that post.
