Grandma's Marathon 2007 (4:18)
Twin Cities Marathon 2007 (4:21)
Enjoyed the handful of halfs's I've run
Short-Term Running Goals: I'd like to shave 15- 20 minutes off my marathon time. I'd like to enjoy the ride as I work hard, recover and strenghten my body giving it my best. Long-Term Running Goals: I'd enjoy stepping it up and finishing an Ultra. I'd like to continue to encourage others in their running and perhaps take up some kind of coaching responsibilities Personal: I have an amazing husband who is my best friend and my biggest fan. He's incredible...he massages me and works out my muscles. How cool is that!?
I have two great kids and LOVE being their mom. They come to every race and cheer me on. |

A bit tight the first 2.5 miles (left hamstring). ThenMet up with K. and she biked along. She helped distract me. We had a great time. The last few miles I felt stronger. I did 2 striders at the end (it was crowed along the path so I didn't do more).
Swipped my card at the FSC .
When finished I jumped on my NEW bike and rode with K for a few easy miles. I liked it. |

Easy day. I can feel I need some rest.
Ran around the track at the Fitness Center, but took it very slow and enjoyed listening to my ipod. |

Easy does it down to Pike Island from Minnehaha. Ran speed workout with Kiwi's.
It was difficult, but felt good to be running fast again. I know I need the speed to be more consistent in my workout routine.

| Up early. Ran to the S.Center with Bri. Dropped him off, took the long way back pushing a comfortably hard pace. I felt I could sustain this pace for sometime. |

Met up with the Kiwi's. We ran a bit faster than our usual long slow runs. Probably three factors: 1). The long weekend 2). The beauty of the morning 3). We were only running 12 and went a little faster than we probably should have. Next long run I'll be more intentional to slow it down. |

Beautiful night. Quiet. A bit humid, but good to prepare as summer is approaching.
I felt strong. |

It was a family affair...biking alongside. We had a great time. A beautiful morning for a run. - a little windy though.
This is a high milage week (for me), so nice to have a good start and bulk up some miles on the long weekend.

5x mile intervals after 1.75 mile warm up. After each mile I slowly jogged for 2 minutes or so. Most of the Kiwi's jumped right back to it w/o a few minutes of recovery. Thus, I was trailing behind, but felt comfortable.
My mile splits were pretty even - about 8:00 pace. The third one I ran a bit stronger, I think it was 7:40. I felt strong, not taxed, but knew I was working hard. We finished it by running 9:15's or so to make it 10.5 miles.
Ran with Francis & Gary back. - Fun. |

EASY does it.
I felt tight and heavy legged on this run. I started to loosen up towards the end of the run, but wanted to keep the milage short and save myself, & let my legs rest up.
average pace: 9:48 |

5 striders at the end which felt good & very fluid.

| Warmest run of the season - humid at the begining, but overall a beautiful day. It went very well. Gu'd 3x and 3 shot blocks. Water was a bit scarse. We took it real slow, averaging about 10:00 minute miles....figuring time on the feet was the main goal. I felt good, strong, controlled. Big right toe bothering me some. Feet were sore at the end. This is the last of the training long runs, now the taper begins. I feel pretty confident, and wished I had put more speedwork in, but I'll see how it goes. The foundation is laid...the hay is in the barn. Also a good head start for TCM in October. |
