Half Marathon Finish

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
9.00

9.0 miles around Herriman this morning.  AP 9:18.  

I felt just a little bit faster on the hills I came across and was able to recover more quickly.  After running a hill, it usually takes me a while to speed up again, but today my legs seemed a bit stronger! Hooray! Maybe one day I won't dip down into the 10:00's when I'm running a hill!  It totally ruins my average pace goals, but oh well. It is what it is!

The hills we have out here are what make us all such strong runners, so, even though we HATE them, they make us FAST!!!!

Oh, and that is a great average pace when you throw in the hills!!!! Salt Lake is mostly down (just that hill at the end) so you are gonna be great!

Ditto to BOTH of Kelli's comments. When I was first running, my sister said "there HAS to be somewhere where you can run and there are no hills!" but, I searched and there isn't :( It makes you stronger and makes those downhill races a walk in the park! Keep up your hard work, it's paying off like crazy!!

Oh, about the gym...if you feign interest I think they will give you a one week free pass. If I'm close to home like that I can leave for an hour in the wee hours and meet you on a TM if you'd like. I wish I could outdoor run with you :(
