Short-Term Running Goals:

I want to run 3-4 days a week, and increase the mileage on my long run each week.

Long-Term Running Goals:

In 2009 I would like to do 2 half marathons and 1 sprint triathlon.

Personal:

I have always been athletic, but started running more seriously at the start of 2007. I had to take a few months off in the summer and fall. I had twins boys in Oct 2007 (hence the time off). I lost a lot of weight when I had them, but managed to gain some of it back. We have a double stroller, which is the hardest workout when I take the boys for a jog.

I did this run with Mik'L. I am still very slow after having the twins, but at least I am running. Hopefully I will get more and more miles in.

So this was the first race I have done since I had the twins, and I think the 5K is about my max. I really wanted to do the Dam to Dam, but I just don't think I will be ready for it. I did this race at a very slow pace and my goal was to just get it done. The battery on my watch was broken, so I was not able to track my time. When I finished the girl who came in just after me said it was around 33 minutes. I had to wait in line for a while for them to scan my tag, but they said the times were correct from when we got to the finish. But somehow my card said it was 37 minutes and I was in the men's division...so yeah, I don't know what to believe. I will get back into this someday. I am not a fast runner though, and never will be, but I do have fun running at my turtle pace :)

I thought today would be a hard day because my kids kept me up for a couple of hours EARLY in the morning. But overall it was not that bad. I got up, went to work, got home, played with the kids, and when my hubby got home, I asked if I could go for a run. He wanted to go too, and run to the house we will be moving in to VERY shorlty. So we left the kids with his brother and ran about a half of a mile to the house, stopped for a while to figure out where to place furnature (an endless battle). Then we ran the 1/2 mile home. Not a long run for me, but I pushed it hard and tried to run fast, it felt real good!!!
