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.

Ran home from the church, and ran into a lady I knew walking, so I waked a bit with her, and then ran the rest of the way home.

I set out to do 3 miles, and decided I could do more, so I did 4 miles, which was the most I had run since I had the twins.  I admit, I did stop and walk for about 1/4 a mile at about the 3 mile mark.  my toes were hurting, so I went in to see Steve about some new shoes.  I hate that he makes me get them like 2 sized big, but he would know better than me.

Steve, I love the new shoes, they worked great! For the record the ++ comes in because I ran about a block or two and decided that my shirt was not cutting it, and riding up, and exposing my not so attractive belly, so I ran home to change my shirt, and then I set out to do my 4 mile run.... In my new cool gray and magenta running kicks :)  I cramped up all the left side of my body about 2 miles so I had to walk, but hey I did it.  I think I just might be ready for the Spectrum 10K we signed up for.

For some reason this was SUCH a hard run for me.  I am down in Vegas and had to do it here.  I ran from my mom's house to my brothers and back.  I don't need to go in to the details of why it was such a bad run, but trust me it was not pleasurable.  But I did it, and it took me like and hour and a half, but I did it, right!!!

I tried to run at a faster pace since I was only doing 2 miles.  However after about the first mile I was dead, and it took everything in me to run just a bit faster than normal for the second mile.  I did finish though, just a wee bit baster than normal.

Time is beginning to become a factor for me.  I am just having a hard time fitting in a decent run between the kids eating schedule and when I have somebody to watch them.  We STILL have not put together the double jogging stroller, so I still can't take them with me.  Anyway, I did this run trying to go fast again, I felt a little better than I did on Tuesday, however, the time did not reflect that :(  So now I am off to my Thursday night volleyball league (the highlight of my week super big smiley face), so that might add in a bit more distance..... kinda sorta :)  And on Saturday it is a 5 mile run with Mil'L.  How nice is it of herl to do it with me at my slow pace!  9:00 AM Mik'L!!!
