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.

Total Distance

8.00

I met with the BBK's for the first time this morning. I was really nervous to run with them b/c I've never ran farther than 6 miles and I'm still pretty slow. The first 3 miles I felt pretty good but after a fairly long hill, I slowed way down and had to walk a few times. I definitely need more practice running hills! After the mile-long hill, I felt relatively good the rest of the way.

This running group is AMAZING and really inspiring. I hope to one day be able to run like they do! Thanks for inviting me again Kelli and I hope I didn't ruin your workout today too much by slowing you down. You probably didn't even break a sweat! I hope to work on getting a bit faster so I can keep up with everyone next time.

You did great!! I told you it took me a year to conquer that dang hill---you made it farther than I did the first time. And, I forgot to mention to you in ALL my talking that when I started running seriously (like more than two miles) I ran 9:30-10 minute miles. Then I joined the BBK's and they taught me to run faster. That was only two years ago! You are doing great!!!

If you ever want to run again, let me know. I enjoyed the run and having someone to talk to!! I am always here and can usually get someone to watch my kids, so just let me know!!! My husband even said you should come for a LONG Saturday run with us when you feel like it. He goes a little faster, he just circles back to get me. he sometimes gets 2-3 more miles than I do, but I like to take my long runs nice and easy most of the time!

I can run any time on Friday (my husband has the day off), Monday and Wednesday I can go in the afternoon when my daughter is at preschool, or any day I can go at 6 am or so (that is not too super early!) I go to the gym Monday-Thursday right now at 9 and fit in my running and weights (Tues/Thurs). So, I can always head out and run if I can get someone to watch Emma.

How is that for an answer?

One of the nice things about running outdoors in Herriman is that you really have no choice but to run some hills. Eventually you get used to them and they won't seem that bad anymore. (And they make you that much stronger for races)

I echo Cal! There is no place like Herriman to learn to run hills. It's a do or die (on the TM) out here! :)
