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.

I ran the first mile in 10 minutes, so not bad for how poorly I have been doing, then the second mile in a little under 12.  The last mile, I can't ever get under 12 minutes, no matter how good of shape I might be in :(

2 miles with double stroller.  About 1/4 of a mile into my run I noticed I had a flat tire, and didn't want that to stop me from my run because I didn't go last night, and I probably wouldn't get to go tonight.  So I proceeded.  Downhill I didn't even think about it, and did that mile in 12 minutes.  On the way back... the dreaded UPhill....  I thought to myself... "I have been running with this stroller long enough that is shouldn't be THIS hard..."  Then I remembered the flat tire!  Oh, My Goodness, you don't think about how much a simple, flat tire can affect your run, but WOW!!!  I highly recommend anybody running with a stroller check the air prior to leaving.  Needless to say, I had to walk the last about half mile :(

two miles with Mik'L. I ditched the flat jogging stroller, my cousin was kind enough to watch the kids for me so I could go for a run!!
