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.

Will there be one week, just one week, where my kids sleep all the way through the night?!!! I guess I should have expected it though. I took my 1 year old in to the doctor for his one year checkup and he got 4 shots...not a happy baby. And my 2 1/2 year old got his first round of the H1N1, so needless to say, it was a long night. Hopefully tonight will be better and I can get up at 5:30 to run!!!

getting used to running on no sleep takes practice :) Good luck with the kiddos, having small children AND taking good care of them isn't easy - especially when you have your own personal goals too. Hang in there, mom time comes soon -you'll get maybe 4-5 months then decide to have another :)

I NEED to get used to running on no sleep if I'm going to improve at all! I just can't seem to get myself out of bed. I've even asked my husband to roll me out of bed when my alarm goes off, but he just sleeps through my alarm. I hate it b/c on those days that I don't get to run/exercise I end up hating myself all day. I think I've decided I'd rather be tired and like myself then well-rested and hate myself :)

It's just so hard sometimes b/c my kids are so little and therefore very demanding. My husband being gone almost 80 hrs/week doesn't make things any easier. No excuses though...I WILL reach my goals in 2010...no matter what.

Ok, sorry, that's a really long post. Thanks for letting me vent my frustration :)

WOWSA, your sleep hours look worse than mine by far!!! But, the answer to your question is, YES, that will happen when all of your kids are raised and out of the house. So, you just have a few years to go.

Hope you got some better rest last night and that the kids are happy campers again. Shots are no fun.
