I got out early this morning because my daughters had dance pictures. I was only going to do 10miles. I started on this 10 mile out and back route that I like to run. I do 2 miles in Ivins then hit the Snow Canyon Parkway trail and 3 more then turn around. At mile 9 I looked at the time and realized I had run faster than I had figured and so I had more time. I was feeling good so I ran an extra 2.25 miles. It was a nice morning.

Great run today! Thanks for the heads up on my dad - I called to congratulate him- It was his longest run in quite a while. You are doing fantastic right now - wish I was there.

Hi Linda! Wow, you have some awesome accomplishments! I'd kill to be able to run a marathon in your time! I'm a new runner, never ran before last October. I'm hooked. I love anything and everything about running. I'm about to begin some serious speed/hill training to TRY to qualify for Boston. It's a stretch but I don't care! To not even try is to fail, and I can't do that. I'm originally from Boston, so it'll be a thrill if I can make it there!

Oh, and I'm fed up with my hip flexor. I just want to get back out there!

Kim,

I think you are doing great for being a new runner and I hope your hip gets feeling better. Have you been to a chirpractor or massage therapist?

If you like to travel and want to qualify for Boston I'd like to suggest the Newport Oregon Marathon. It is the first week of June and it is a pretty easy course. It is an out and pack and it is all pretty level plus it is beautiful.
