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 tried out my new running shoes today.  They are great! I didn't take my Garmin with me b/c I didn't want to be upset about how slow I was probably running.  So I just took my time and tried to enjoy myself.  I ran the 3-mile route I usually run in 29 minutes and 3 seconds (I used the timer on my ipod).  My knee felt pretty good until the climb back into my neighborhood so I walked/jogged the last 1/2 mile.  I didn't really feel much pain, just some tightness.  

I don't have a race scheduled.  Does anyone know of  a good race more toward the end of the summer? I want to schedule something so I can get back into running, but I don't want to push myself too much too fast.   Any ideas?

Payson Onion Days on Labor Day is a FUN run, lots of fellow bloggers a 10K and 5K, great prizes and Marion usually hosts a breakfast afterwards and then they also have a parade for the kids that is just blocks away from Marion's house! I LOVE it!!

Glad the knee kept happy for a few miles at least. Keep up on that stretching!
