Short-Term Running Goals:

In the next 6 months I would like to feel fitter, look fitter, run faster, and not feel like an elephant plodding along. I would like to improve my 5K times, and run a marathon in October. Goal for the marathon is 4:30. Not sure if this is possible....

Long-Term Running Goals:

Let's just get through the summer, then we can talk about long term running goals!

Personal:

Trying to get in shape through running. Not sure I enjoy it -- I feel it too much, I am too loud running.. it is not graceful. Not pretty. I have had some euphoric moments running, like when listening to Bon Jovi (I know...I know) or Tina Turner (you're simply the best!!) but these moments are not that often. I love how I feel after accomplishing a run.

I love the treadmill.... Love my ipod... blink 182 (are you feelin' this..) and a whole mish mash of other tunes that get me moving. I want to be better, faster, more graceful... and more accountable- therefore I am here.

Chilly? No! Right now it is raining .. humid, and will be high 80s tomorrow.

Overall, yes, it is getting cooler, but not chilly at all.

Impressive? Your skinny self is impressive... I am just trying to be half as fast as you and Lucia. Happy weekend.... I get to leave my office chair in 20 minutes! I am counting them down!

Its 5 oclock somewhere huh? Thats funny. I just got home from my busy day. and its exactly 2 hours after you wrote yours. You have a great weekend yourself. Are you doing any long runs? Im going to be back in your neck of the woods in 1 month. I am excited. I had a speaker from Boston talk to us from the company that I do my side business with called Exfuse. Its a health supplement drink. He was so awesome. Im mesmorized by you Bostonites and your accent! Funny.

hey lady, you've been MIA as well, what's going on? Crazy week for me but next should be better! Got any races this weekend? The DC Road runners club has a 20-mile race on September 28 that I'm volunteering at; if you're looking for a long supported run. Cheers!
