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.

2 miles in 21:24.  I did the first mile in 10:30 about and the second mile in about 11 minutes.  I felt like I was running SO fast, but I guess I wasn't, but I am proud I didn't the last mile in well under 12 minutes!

2 miles with stroller.  I did pump up the wheels so it was a little better, but I really feel like this should be getting easier.  Oh, I remember why it was hard, we had to go to Cedar City and were there late, so the boys got to sleep a little later than normal.  So anyway, I let them sleep in a bit on Wednesday...so I could sleep in a bit, and by the time we got out the door for my run it was nearly 8:30 AM... and starting to get hot.

with the stroller, and this took me a while.  Around 40 minutes, but I stopped at Mik'l house and then we walk like a fourth of a mile or so.  It was good, and I am hoping that all this effort I am putting into running with the double stroller will pay off.

So today I didn't technically run, but I played in a volleyball tournament yesterday and today.  Trust me, there was lots of short sprints, diving and jumping involved. I am sure it accounts for at least a mile.  I am so extremely sore it isn't even funny.  I would say it was 3-4 hours on Friday (5-6 hours total time there, but only 3-4 of actual play time) and then about 5 hours of playing today.
