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.

There is not much to report about my run today.  Just a basic 4 mile run.  My achilles are a little sore from the Saturday run.  I hope the run today stretched them out a little instead of making them more sore.

Today I ran alone.  I went faster than I normally do with my neighbor.  I don't know how fast I went but I could tell I was running faster and I was breathing harder.  I added .5 miles at the end and still got home at the same time.

While running I was crossing a neighborhood intersection and saw a car approaching.  I could tell they weren't going to stop for me and sure enough they weren't planning on it.  I pulled back and ran in place, at the last second the driver saw me and slammed his breaks on.  If I hadn't pulled back I think I might have been hit.  I am glad I was paying attention!

I did a P90X workout today and it was HARD.  I probably did about 300 push-ups,  My knees are red and sore from too many push-ups.  There was also an ab workout in the segment.  After the workout, I was sore and tired.

Today I ran really slow.  My body is tired both from lack of sleep and just not enough energy.  When I started running, I could feel all the sore muscles from doing lots of push-ups yesterday.  I left earlier than normal this morning.  It was nice to be home a little earlier as well.

Today I did a plyometrics workout from P90X.   I still have really low energy.  I have decided not to run tomorrow and take a two day weekend to rest up a bit.  I can't remember the last time I skipped a Saturday run, it feels strange because Saturdays are the days I do a longer run.  Hopefully I will feel good and rested on Monday.
