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.

I finally have something to post today! It's not very exciting, but it's something!

2.0 TM miles.  I felt my knee start to tighten after a 1/4 mile! Ahhh!  I slowed my pace down from 10:00min/mile to 10:15min/mile.  That didn't seem to help so I walked a 1/4 mile and jogged a 1/4 mile until I reached 2 miles.  So now I'm icing and stretching.  I think I'm going to work more on doing more leg strengthening exercises and aerobics videos this week and try to run again on Saturday to see my IT band is any better.  Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!

oh man...still pain? I'm SO sorry. Have you been stretching? Stretching, rolling and strengthening are the keys - as far as I've found.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Saturday!

Sorry to hear your ITB is acting up. Rachel gave all the advice. My ITB flared up last year about this time. I did not run a single step until Sat. at the Ogden Full. Teena taped my knee up good and I was able to finish the marathon.

Are you running the Ogden Half?

How are you feeling? It's been a while, and when I run up into the cove I think about you and keep an eye out in the early morning! Hope all is well!
