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
5.65

This morning I ran on the Hiline Canal trail.  There was more snow then expected covering the trail, it was a bit slick in some areas.  I ran with Ali and Carolyn.  It was an enjoyable run.  We planned on running 6 miles and I was feeling really good at the end of the run.  I like to speed up at the end and run it in fast.  I was feeling the desire to speed up and was thinking about running faster to the end and then Ali caught her foot in a frozen rut of dirt and twisted her ankle at 5.65 miles.  Carolyn and I walked with Ali the rest of the way.  I hope her ankle heals quickly and isn't hurt too much.  This was Ali's first run outside since she has started training for a half marathon,  Too bad her first experience didn't turn out better.

It was fun running with you and Ali this morning. It's too bad the trail was in kind of bad shape. And I hope that Ali's ankle is okay and that she's willing to run with us again.

That really is stinky that it was her first outdoor run! I hope she gets better and is still up to training for Moab (I'm assuming). You kept a nice pace in the snow and slick! Keep up the good work!! Oh, and I'm glad to hear nothing about the hip - I hope it's gone for good!! --well, the pain that is, you may need a hip :)

I hope the pain is gone too. I felt a little achy after the run. But now 7 hours later it feels great. Even better then before the run. I am glad about that. I think taking some extra time off this past week helped it heal more.

Nice run Michelle! It sucks about your friend Ali. A sprained ankle really sucks. I hope she recovers quickly. Keep up the great work and I'm glad you're feeling better.
