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.

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!).

Felt good this week.  Did a tempo run on Tuesday and fartleks on Wednesday.  On Thursday felt buttock injury coming back from a few months again.  Injury deep in the right side of my bum that throbs when I walk, run, etc.  In May when I had that I took a week off because it got so painful then it seemed to have gone.  This time I am trying streching, heating, etc.  Not sure what the injury is but wondering if speed and/or lack of injury are contributing.  Feels like muscle but is so deep it is hard to massage.  Will take it a little easier this week and hope to cure injury.

Catherine, I hope you'll start blogging your runs-- especially your race report from Saturday (July 4th)! I wish you would have blogged all of your training since March. Whatever you've done since then has really paid off!!

Don't make me hijack your blog and start reporting your races on your behalf. You ran a good one again today girlie! Hope you're snapping back. Thanks again for letting me tag along today with you and your girls!
