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.

5 min walking warmup then 30 mins run @ 6.5 mph then 20 mins walk @ 8% incline and 3.5 mph and 5 min walking cool down. Avg hr 149 bpm, 81% max. Quad felt fine. I think it's helping to try to activate my lower abs and lock my core in place. Will take tomorrow off running even though I think I can run just to build momentum
