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.

Total Distance
4.00

I had hoped to do 6-7 miles this morning but David had to today from 6 AM to 6 PM today, and I wasn't about to get up at 4:30 AM, so I decided to run at night.  Well after the whole day of being with the twins and fun filled Saturday activities flying solo, I was exhausted.  David finally got home, and we put the kids to bed, and I left.  I wanted to do 3 miles fast, and it was HOT.  I did okay and decided to do 4.  This was one of my fastest paces in a while. 

 Mile 1: 9:50 (down hill), Mile 2: 10:40 (combo, mostly up hill), Mile 3: 10:15 (combo, mostly downhill), Mile 4: 12:25 (UP HILL).  And if I have done my math correctly that is 43:10. which is what my watch said when I finished.  The last mile to my house, no matter what way I go, is always UPHILL and it totally KILLS me.  But according t Mik'L it is level ;)

 I don't think you will see times like that out of me again for a while, I didn't much enjoy that.

Just keep telling yourself it's level. ;) Great job! Even though you didn't get your "long" run in, you did a good pace so that's awesome!
