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.

It was really hard to get out of bed this morning but I knew my neighbor was waiting for me so I dragged myself out of bed and got out the door.  Of course, I am glad I did.  My neighbor has been having some ankle problems so she wanted a slow run this morning.  Slow is what she got, really slow.  I never time myself, I just run the miles.  Well, today my friend had her garmin, how depressing.  I didn't think we were going that slow but wow!  Out miles were between 10:40 and 11:00 pace.  I have slowed down a ton!  I am still just focusing on getting the miles in and the pace doesn't matter too much.  I am OK with running slow I just didn't realize I was that slow.  I do think we went a tiny bit slower today because we were talking.

Glad you were able to run without pain. I have days I run that slow too, the benefits are there regardless of the pace.

Have a good week end.

Good job getting out this morning. I didn't manage to get out early today.

Don't worry about slow. At least you're still running, and that's quite an accomplishment.

yay for running w/out pain...maybe the pain of lost sleep, but no physical pain :)

I'm with you on the miles, just get them in. You're doing great staying consistent with them! Oh, and when I try to talk to people when I run it is 10X harder! I can breath or talk...not both! :)
