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.

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

Ran this morning with Bri. We ran between marathon and easy pace. average: 9:30 pace.

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

My legs felt stronger today.

I need more water.

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.
