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.

This morning my friend I do P90X with called and canceled.  It is always a hard moment when I realize I am on my own to motivate myself to complete the whole workout.  I still did the planned workout so I am happy about that.  It was an hour and fifteen minutes of shoulders, arms, and abs.  I prefer cardio to strength training so it is really good for me to get strength training in.  I don't really enjoy it, but now it is done.

 My kids did the cool down with me and my oldest commented that he was doing a really good job with the exercises.  I like to see them try and exercise with me.

Great job motivating yourself! You've got the commitment within yourself. I know you usual exercise with others, but you've got the strength to do it on your own when you need to.

kudos on the self motivation to get a p90x workout done...especially when it's one you don't enjoy.

It's great your kids will participate with you on some level. I asked one of mine to do a video workout with me and I was laughed at and told, "No one cares about that stuff but you, mom."

Its always fun to inspire the kiddos! Mine are grown now, but when I look back, I see lots of their healthy life habits come directly from all the time spent "exercising" with me.
