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.

This morning was a good run.  The weather was warm and I didn't feel too tired.  Not much else to say about it, just a good run.

I'm glad you had a good run.

Thanks for being my soprano section yesterday.

So here's a question for you. I struggle somewhat going up Gleneagles and then south on Quebec, and then University from Quebec to Cresthill feels much easier. But University from Quebec to Cresthill is all slightly uphill. How does that University stretch feel to you since you hit that first, before getting to the Gleneagles and Cresthill part? I'm just wondering it the University stretch feels easier to me because it comes right after a harder section, or if it's really just a fairly easy stretch.

YAY for a good run! It's nice to still feel that way every once in a while :)

Monday morning and not feeling tired? That's a good day!

Carolyn- I also think the University stretch is easier but I have just come up to Quebec from my house and that always feels tough to start a run with the uphill. I think it probably feels easier because it is slightly uphill instead of the steep Gleneagles hill. Even though it doesn't feel to hard by the time I get close to Cresthill I start feeling a bit tired and always feel good once I reach Cresthill and have the hill behind me.
