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.

My mom was in town so I was able to leave a little later, and stay out longer so I went 3 miles :)  I am surprised how out of shape I am.  I only took 1 week off, and then went down to lower mileage, and it feels like I haven't run in months.

I didn't run today, but I did 45 minutes of Pilates.  I figure I should strengthen my back since I have been having problems with it.

I stayed out late last night (saw the new Batman), and then had to get up with the kids twice in the night, so by the time 6:30 AM rolled around, I couldn't get myself out of bed. 

I have decided, and I don't know if I have already posted this, but I am going to pass (most likely) on doing the September half marathon.  Right now it is more important for my husband to train for his marathon.  So we are coming up with a schedule for us to run.  I will most likely keep my miles in the 2-4 range and concentrate more on strengthening my back, since it tightens up SO much after runs.  I like Pilates because it REALLY works your abs, in turn strengthens your back.  If anybody else has any suggestions, let me know :) 

 I do want to run a half in November.  By then the day will have cooled down, and it wont be such an issue when I can run and when David gets to.
