Goal Type:

Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

Two Marathons -

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.
