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.

7 easy miles on the treadmill. Recovery pace, 9:13 min/mi at 1% incline. Feeling strong post-flu and post-marathon!! And, I think I'm finally learning how to run on the treadmill! Haha. One more week of recovery paces, then starting my 12 week schedule to train for Big Sur! :)

3 miles at recovery pace on treadmill, 9:13 min/mi, 1% incline. Really jealous of Chicago right now, and a lot of my running friends didn't realize how warm it was today and either ran in winter clothes or indoors!!!

Weights to rebuild my musscalls... :)

Easy run in DC with some tri guys I work with. It was a lot of fun, and even got to run in shorts! They spent the run trying to convince me to starting training for tris. I love to bike, but running has a special place in my heart. Then heading back we got lost, and ending up running some hills to get back to the hotel, just a small preview of what my new training schedule will be like. Average pace: 8:41 min/mi. (Meant to run closer to 9s, oppsies!)...

Crosstraining day. Went to the hotel "fitness center" and did some PT exercises and core work. Followed by 20 mins of elliptical. It feels good on the body getting back into a normal workout routine. :)

This was supposed to be another recovery pace run, but I ran with the tri guys again so we averaged a 8:26 min/mi pace. Haha. Guess my legs are bouncing back! I honestly couldn't tell my pace because my inner thighs have been sore since Tuesday from air squats. I think that's a good thing because I haven't felt the pain in the back of my thighs since Tuesday. I think the crosstraining balanced out my muscles. :)

Long run in the slush! I ran with some friends and their group. It was about the hilliest run you can get in Chicago, so I was loving it. It snowed the entire time, and even though the footing was pretty slick, it was such a gorgeous run. Average pace was 8:31 min/mi, 296 ft elevation gain.
