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 set out to do 3 miles today, hoping to do 2 because it was hot. As I ran my first couple strides, I was REALLY hoping to get 2 miles in because I was still so sore from the weekend of volleyball. Well, once I hit my 1st mile (10 min) I was feeling okay, and the heat wasn't too bad, so I continued. My 2nd mile was also 10 minutes. Then the DREADED last mile uphill. The sun was beating on my face, and all of a sudden it was a LOT more hot, not only that, but the wind was blowing against me as well. I did this in about 12 minutes. I was pleased to do 3 miles in 32 minutes. But I really need to get that last mile under 12 minutes. |

| | 3 miles with the jogging stroller. I think the first mile was in 11 minutes, and the second was in 11:30 and the third was about 13 minutes. Anyway, I finished under 36 minutes which was good for me with the stroller. For the 5K this weekend, I think I will aim to finish in under 32-33 minutes. I am going to try to leave the boys with my cousin, so I don't think I will be pushing the stroller. I am hoping that might shave a little time off. |

| | Pushed the stroller, and had a nice little jog with some friends. The time wasn't much to brag about, but it was more of a social run, and I had a blast. |

| | Race: |
Trailes River Run 5K (3.1 Miles) 00:31:13, Place overall: 10, Place in age division: 5 | | I think that was really 10th place for women, because I know there were more than 10 people in front of me. This was a good race, I tried to push it, and I did. The last mile there was a HUGE hill that was not fun, and really slowed me down. The last 1/4 mile I was really trying to push it to get a good time, just when I was starting to give up, a girl came up behind me and made me try even harder so she wouldn't pass me. Well, with about 100 yards to go, she passed me, and was probably laughing at me on the inside at this girl who tried so hard not to let her pass. I know I do when I am in her shoes. Well, come to find out she started the race like a minute later and was playing catchup the whole race.... I don't know if that makes me feel better or worse. But I thank my unknown friend who pushed me hard at the end and got me in under 32 minutes, which was a secret goal, though to others I think I said 34 minutes. !0 minute 2 second mile pace... I am proud of this run! |
