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.

6.5 miles on Christmas morning with my BRAND NEW GARMIN!!! I'm so pumped about this little gadget.

It was only 15 degrees when I left my in-laws house, but after about a mile I was nice and warm. The first mile was all downhill and my pace was about 7:40. Miles 2-5 were relatively flat, with a few hills and I was able to keep an average pace of 8:45. Then the last mile was all uphill and my avg pace dropped to 9:30. I still don't like hills, but I'm getting a little bit better at running them. At least I didn't have to stop and walk!

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

Holy Cow girl! Bustin' out of the gate, that garmin must've really inspired you! :) Great workout and paces, you'll love the gadget and never want to run w/out it again. Most runs I don't pay attention to it, I just gather info at the end of the run. Makes 'easy' run easier to stomach!
