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.

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 :)
