Running Accomplishments:

Maybe someday I'll have something noteworthy to post in this section. I have only completed three 5ks and a 5 miler; all at an average pace somewhere in the 9:00-9:30min/mile range

Painter's Half 2010 - 2:03:54 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Painter's Half Marathon - would like to keep an average pace of 9:00min/mile. 

Painter's Half - Went over my goal and finished in 2:03:54 :( It was my first half though.  I had a great time and learned what I need to work on.  

Salt Lake Half Marathon - would like to finish in under 2 hours. 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Would like to complete a full marathon in the fall of 2010 and finally conquer the Herriman Hill...to be honest, there are several hills in Herriman I'd love to conquer, but that one for sure!

Personal:

I am a stay-at-home mother, married and have two young boys.

I went to put on my running shoes yesterday morning and wanted to cry b/c my blister hurt so badly! But after trying to stay off of it for a while yesterday, it felt much better today, so luckly I was able to run.

I had to work late last night so, I decided to sleep in this morning. Once I put my 1 year old down for a nap today, I tried to put on a movie for my 2 1/2 year old. Of course, he followed me instead of watching a movie. As soon as he followed me into our workout room, I thought that there was no way I was going to even get a mile in, but he was great! Thank goodness for resistance bands, push up bars, a stationary bike, and aerobics steps to entertain him :)

3.5 TM miles. Warm up for 5 minutes at 9:30. I alternated between a 7:30min/mile pace for 2 minutes and a 9:00min/mile pace for 2 minutes, until I reached 3.5 miles.

SO glad your blister is healing up. Did you put bandaid over it?

SO happy your little toddler let your run 3.5!

Those are some nice intervals. 2 min. on 2 min. off. is great way to make TM running fun!
