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.

Did 4 miles at about an 11-12 minute mile pace.  Finished in about 45 minutes.  IT was a little warmer this morning than normal :(  Thank for joining me Mik'L!!

5:40 AM, which is the time my alarm went off, to which I snoozed until 5:50 AM..... came MUCH too early this morning. It seems to be coming more and more early the more often I get up early. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Needless to say, I was NOT in the mood to run, but did it anyway. I left the house and decided, in the words of my hubby, that this would be a gingerly run. I took off at a leisure pace and did mile 1 in 11 minutes, mile 2 in 12 and mile 3 in 12 minutes.  So not too bad, I stayed under 12 minute miles which was okay for me.

After lunch I am taking the boys to the pool, a common activity on my days off, so that should be fun :)

I ran with Mik'L this morning and did 3 miles.  I am actually writing this on Sunday, so I don't remember much about it after all our 4th of July fun :)

I did this run in Hatch, Utah.  The weather was BEAUTIFUL for a run.... minus the mosquitoes.  I have probably 10 bites, two of which are over 3 inches in diameter.  Anyway, I left with my sister and we ran 3 miles.  It was a very hilly run, which was good for me.  I dropped her back at the house and continued out for another 2 miles.  I ran bast where my brother got hit by an antelope while riding his motorcycle.  I wanted to go more, but when I dropped my sister off, I knew breakfast was ready.  Plus Mik'L warned me about the altitude playing a factor, so it kinda played psyched me out (thanks Mik'L).  Anyway, it was a fun weekend with the family.

After my run though, I did screw up my back when I was holding one of the kids, and bent down to pick something up.  I couldn't do much the rest of the day.  It does feel a bit better, but I don't know if I should run :(
