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.

Total Distance
3.50

This morning I decided to drive to the track and do my running on the track.  I have had more success with running when I am on the track.  I was able to do the whole 3.5  without having to stop from pain.  It was nice and slow, really slow but I did it.  I might start driving to the track more often.  The downside is it takes more time.  I got home a little late and was only able to do 3.5.  If I didn't have to worry about getting home for kids, I would probably have ran another 1.5 but I had to get home.

Did you run the whole direction the same time or did you switch it up? You should probably switch it up. I should come run on the track with you sometimes. We wouldn't have to stay together, but we could high 5 when we crossed paths.

Michelle- it's nice you found that you can run on the track without having the cramps/pains that you've had out on the roads. I'm impressed with your dedication to keep running, and waking up early. I'm sure running will be a breeze and seem less complicated after delivery.

My daughter would die and go to heaven if I got her a summer pass to a water park. You're an awesome mom!
