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 tonight with Jason and Greg. It was fun... I love my husband (Greg), the animal athlete, very much, but I love the time I can spend with my brother running together. We were very close, used to live in the same building, so when I moved and got married, I lost that closeness. Now, we have training for the marathon to do together. It sounds mean, but I wish Greg did not want to come with us. Eeek... I feel bad saying this! But, I love Greg and we do so many things together so I kind of wish I had this one thing to do exclusively with my bro.

Anyway, very glad that we all got out there tonight and ran! Sorry for venting tonight! Happy running! Can you believe tomorrow is thursday already?!! Awesome!

Nice going, Jill! You are so lucky for having such awesome running companions. It seems like you do get to run with your brother only sometimes, right? If not, maybe talking w/your hubby would be good... It is very easy to understand why you'd want to run with your brother alone, at least sometimes; he shouldn't be hurt by that! There's nothing wrong with wanting to do something on your own.
