Goal Type:

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.

Today I did a P90X workout with my friend.  It was the Kenpo workout which is a kickboxing style of workout.  This workout is my favorite P90X video so I enjoyed it.  I almost kicked my friends 15 month old daughter when she walked behind me.  Luckily I saw her out of the corner of my eye and was able to balance instead of kick.

 I just spent a half hour cleaning glue stick off of a closet door only to come downstairs and find a quart of eggnog spilled half in the kitchen on wood and half in the dining room on carpet.  Why is there even carpet in a dining room?  We need to change that.

Adventures in motherhood.

It sounds like you've had an eventful morning.

We've got carpet in our kitchen table area. (I don't really consider it a proper dining room since it's the only place where a table can go.) It's quite destroyed, but then so is all of my main floor carpet.

I got my packages mailed this morning. There's a little postal outlet thing in a gas station on Colorado Blvd. I went there and didn't have to wait!

I like not waiting to send your packages. Very smart thinking. I am glad you got them sent.

I was just shaking my head as I read your post...sounds like we live a similar life! I still have sunscreen all over a door (it MELTED the paint so the door needs to be sanded and re-painted...too much work for me right now), and got to clean up a snowglobe broken on the tile floor and a box of cereal (and the milk that splashed out) off the floor yesterday!

It's kind of horrible when our 'jobs' overshadow our workouts :) Nice work...p90X is ROUGH!!

RAD- I can't believe it melted the door, that is some strong sunscreen. I hope you get the snowglobe and cereal cleaned up soon and don't have any more disasters for awhile.

Funny thing...it was Huggies brand children's sunscreen! I think I could avoid a few disasters if I'd stop wasting time on the blog and take care of my kids :) How old are your kids? I'm assuming they are probably around my kids' ages: 9 (on Sunday), 5, 2 and well in June a new one. YIKES!

Yeah, I don't get it with carpets in the dining room either! What are they thinking?

Welcome to the blog! The P90X workout sounds like a great adjunct to running.

From Michelle on Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 19:43:36 from 97.122.167.7

I should probably take care of my kids more instead of blog, but really, which is more fun? My kids are 6, 3, and 2 in January. How exciting you are having #4 soon. Have you always ran during pregnancy?
