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.

David is out of town so I am on my own here.  I dropped the boys off at a friends house and then ran my 4 miles and then back to pick them up.  I felt bad because 1 of the boys just cried the whole time.... he has become kind of a mama's boy.  I was pretty tired at the end when I had to push the boys up the hill to my house in the stroller.

With Mik"l and pushing the stroller.  The boys were SO cold, I need to get hats for them I think.  I don't know how much longer they will be able to go with me in the mornings :(  They were a little more cranky than normal as well, which I think has something to do with David being gone on business.  It was a tough run though, I seriously thought running with the stroller would get easier and it totally is NOT :(

I called to see if Mik"l wanted to run, but she left me in the dust!!  Kidding, she left before I could go.  Anyway, I got ready to run, and felt a little nauseous probably because I ate an early dinner the night before, and hadn't eaten yet that morning.  Anyway, I knew I wanted to do a long run on Saturday, so I decided to take it easy and a little run was better than NO run.

This was actually a little over 8 miles and I did it in about 1 hour and 40-45 minutes.  The dumb Garmin watch kept turning off on me, so I don't know the exact distance ore time, since I have never run that far and the course was unfamiliar.  I do know it was at least 8 because I turned around at a little after 4 miles.  I had the "Across the Universe" sound tract to keep me company.  It was COLD.  I couldn't imagine what the marathoners did last week in about the same weather plus rain.  After that run, I think I might be ready for the Half Marathon at the beginning of November, but I am still hesitant to sign up.  If I do it I will take my SWEET time and probably run like a 11-14 minute mile pace.
