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 was a nice run.  My neighbor and I walked out our doors at the same time so we ran a few blocks together and then she took off.  It was nice to listen to tunes and settle into a nice pace and enjoy running instead of too much exertion.  I really did enjoy my run today, it was great weather as well.  I think I am going to try to get out the door a couple minutes earlier each morning so we will finish our run about the same time, then we can do a cool down walk together and talk for a few minutes.  It would also help to not watch my neighbor run away from me and never be able to catch up.

Good idea! It always helps to be a bit in front :) Glad you had a good run and a good time with your neighbor. Way to make the best of it all!!

I like your plan. It puts you in the lead :-)

Glad you had nice weather and enjoyed your music.

You really do like running alone. But it's nice if you can have a balance of running alone but also spending some time with friends as well.

You were smart to get out early when the weather was good this morning. The weather got worse around 8:00.
