Goal Type:

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.

Completed cross-training via P90X "Shoulders, Triceps, Arms" and "Ab-ripper" workouts. In total 1 hour and 15 minutes. Scheduled some speedwork training in the evening after my kids went to bed, but my 10 month old woke up screaming (he's cutting 4 teeth at once) after I was on the treadmill for only 5 minutes. Unfortnately, I was up with him for 2 hours and was unable to run. I will try again on Wednesday evening.

Completed cross-training using P90X "Back, Biceps" and "Ab-ripper" workouts.

Also focused on working on increasing my speed; I'm SLOW...my average is only 9:15-9:30min/mile. I ran for 2 miles at my average pace and then did 4x400 at 8:30 with 2 minute jogs in between. I was nervous I wouldn't be able to go that fast for more than 30 seconds, but it wasn't too bad! Anyone have suggestions on how I can better increase my speed?

Completed P90X "Legs and Back" workout. Probably not the smartest thing to do before planning on running tomorrow morning, but oh well. I'm going to shoot for 5 miles. I haven't done that in a while so wish me luck!

Completed 4 miles on the treadmill. First 2 miles at 9:30 min/mile. Third mile at 8:35. Fourth mile at 9:45. 

My goal was to go for 5 miles but I pushed it too hard during the 3rd mile. Still trying to work on my speed and hope to do better during my long run next Saturday.
