3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :) 

Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

5k race. I PR'ed, 22:40! 7:18 min/mi pace, yea! Well, that was my last speed run before the marathon. My legs feel great. I recover quickly so I think I'm good to go for the marathon. Oh, I won 2nd female overall in Chicago! The girl that beat me was a high school cross country chick, and she only beat me my 10 sec. What great timing for a confidence booster! Can't wait to recover from the marathon and continue to work on my speed. I'm definitely going to work my way into my kinvaras again for speed workouts. :)

Welcome to the blog! Great job on the race. You know, you can enter this in as a race instead of a regular workout. Just go back in and click Edit. Then click on the very to box that says "This is a race report." Also, I love all that bling bling in your profile pic.

Thanks, Burt! I didn't know you could add that as a race. I just edited it. :)

All that bling was from the Goofy Challenge at Walt Disney World. It was such a great accomplishment and my current marathon PR! Hopefully I will crush that time this Saturday.

Woo hoo! Now you're blogging like a pro. Good luck Saturday! I'll be anxious to see how it goes for you :)

Oh yeah! Thanks! I'm a little worried, not gonna lie. I hit the wall at mile 20. I'm not sure if I've been going out too fast or running out of carbs. This race will definitely be an exercise on attacking those mental demons!
