Running Accomplishments:

8 Marathons completed; PR of 3:29.  Hoping to run Boston in next few years if I can ever register before the dang thing fills (have missed the last 2 years because of this).

Short-Term Running Goals:

Hoping to re-qualify for Boston sometime in 2011.  Hoping to hit marathon #10 in 2011.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run 100 marathons in my lifetime and live to tell the tale.

Personal:

Married.  2 daughters.  Have a love/hate relationship with running.  Hate the first 3 miles of EVERY run without fail and grumble the whole time.  Feel okay during 3-6.  Love 6+ and LOVE how I feel when I am done (like I can take on the world and then some!).

Total Distance
2.00

Cross-training day.  30 minutes of walking with increase of .5 incline each minute up to 12.0 incline.  Got to bed last night at about 1:00 then laid in bed feeling the runners gut until about 1:30.  Felt just a titch sore today and have some blistering and definite chafing in the sports bra area--going to have permanent v-neck scars right below my collarbone that show every time I wear a lower cut shirt (you know that I mean--not risque lower obviously, just not high neck :)) but proud of 'em.

oh man! Sorry about the chaffing! I actually wore a white shirt (which NEVER happens) when I did 20 on the track last week and I didn't notice until I got home that I'd bled through EVERYTHING all over my shirt from the bottom of the sports bra area. It's been painful since. I always wonder what docs think when they see it - "are you really THAT crazy to do that to yourself?" Yes, yes I am :)

Nice job on those Friday miles and getting that last long run in. Jealous of your and Luz's adventures this month, National is a GREAT race (my sister has done it) and I'm sure you two will have a wonderful time!

Are you proud of the *not risque low cut shirts* or the chafing scars...or both?!!! :)

I'm proud of your 20 miler and nice xtrain the next day! :) :) :) :) :)
