Running Accomplishments:

I'm a 40+ "used to be"...

7 years ago had BAD case of frostbite and nearly lost my feet.  Stopped running (obviously) & gained LOTS of weight.  Started jogging again when local community club needed a coach and found out that exercise helped to increase circulation in my affected areas as well as decreased overall weight which helped to take pressure off my feet.  Still deal with neuropathy and Reynauds--but do not take ANY pain meds to manage the pain.  Gotta' love running!!!

SO, any past accomplishments do not matter....only that I can get ut the door almost every day and run another run.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Currently building base to lead up to traditional Marathon

Goals:

Have not yet decided on race schedule for this year, but am shifting focus from ultras to trying to nail down some shorter speedy races and a tradtional marathon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running for as long as I can & share the knowledge that God has graced me with by continuing to coach as well.

Personal:

Son:  Drew...currently runs for Adam's State!!

Currently Coaching:  Revolution Running

"Ran" late to practice.  Sent boys out to do their run, changed and basically just killed time playing on the track. 

10 minute warm-up/stretches/drills

2600m @ 6:24 pace (girl swimmers out on the track, so just ran continuous until they were through)

2 x 1/4 @6:50's (thought I would get a bunch of quarters with one minute rest between, but then the boys showed back up...)

5  minutes of diagonals

Gorgeous out, so showed the boys some sand box drills and called it a day!

Rest day!  No time to run.  Travel to New Mexico to meet up with Drew for his last XC meet of the season at RMAC's.  Go ADAMS!

Crashed the pasta dinner as Mines and Western were all eating with Adams.  Good times!

Got to talk to Zoila for a few minutes at dinner.  She is SO sweet AND amazing.  What an inspiration and jewel for the Adams crew.

Watched Harry Potter on the tube and had a banana skin skin fight with Drew.  Gotta love pre-race routines!

RMAC Championships

What an exdcellent race.  Guys for first, gals for second.  Drew ran unattached in the open race.  So great to see him running up front again.  Went out in 4:40's for the first mile with the lead group.  Stayed with them until around 6k.  Caught his breath adn then started to catch people again!  If only it had been a full 10k--he really aught his second wind and looked great through the finish. (25:41-new 8k PR!)

Such a proud mama moment.

In between races, tried to get my workout in on the course.  3x 1k's progressively faster down to 6:20's with one minute rest.  4 minutes rest (really talking to folks instead of running...) 2:30 @ 6:40's and 1:30 @ 6:40, then time to get in quick CD to meet everyone for lunch at Subway's before the *yawn* drive back home.

10 mile race tomorrow.  Probably not a GREAT pre-race routine...
