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.

Ran home from work, picked up my brother at mile 4 and we ran about 3 together and then we parted ways and I ran home.   Exhausted, going to bed now.... sweet dreams.

nice miles :) Great race...even if it wasn't what you'd hoped for. The changing seasons can make hydration rough :)

Name the tune:

Lady, when you're with us, we're smiling

Give us, whoa-oh-ah-oh, all your blogs!

Your blog builds me up when i'm sinking

Write me and my troubles all fade

Lady, from the moment I saw you

Tripping, whoa-oh-oh on the street

You give all the blog that I needed

Not shy, like a runner who blogs!

You're the LADY!

(Seinfeld) on cake day elaine's co-workers sang this song. I sing it now to Jillzo: Get well, get well soon, we hope you get well soon! lol
