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 slow run, 40:27, I felt tired. The start of my run is uphill and the entire last mile is gradually uphill with a steep hill in the middle of the mile. The hills wore me out today. I am glad I did it and glad to be done.
Night Sleep Time: 7.00
Nap Time: 0.00

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Welcome to the blog, my friend!
If you felt tired on your run today, it's probably because you're not really used to running 2 days in a row yet. And I know the hills you're talking about. They get me every time.
Once again, welcome to the blog and thanks for joining! I'm so excited to have you here!

Welcome to the blog Michelle! Hills suck (and you can tell them I said that ;-) ). Actually, they are GREAT, they will get you in shape faster than anything else, so just think to yourself "I am strong, I am strong" -- and pretty soon you won't even feel them anymore!
Have a good day.

We hear about you every week, Michelle! I feel like I know you already (but don't worry, Carolyn hasn't said anything but good things!) Glad to see you are on the blog!
I know nothing about hills. They sound hard. I'm glad I'm from uber-flat Illinois.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome! I was surprised to have so many comments already. I am excited to be part of the blog now.

Welcome Michelle! It's SO nice to have a new member of an already established 'running family' join us! :) You will get faster, and those hills...well, they will always suck! I have to chant when I run up them (even little ones at mile 24 of a marathon) "I love hills, I love hills" it works enough to get you to the top :)
Great plan for training, enjoy the easy winter running and good luck finding a fun summer/fall marathon -YOU CAN DO IT!
