Running Accomplishments:

I have only run 2 marathon's in my life.... Grandma's in 2002 and Twin Cities in 2008. I just finished nothing spectacular.... This last year I got the running bug so here we are.... Let's see what happens!

Short-Term Running Goals:

I told myself that I was not going to run anymore Marathon's until I am 50.... Well, that didn't work! I have been talked into signing up for 35th running of Grandma's Marathon on June 18th, 2011... I have had running friends who have qualified for Boston and it has inspired me to see if I could qualify. So I guess we will see how it goes... Wish me luck.....

Long-Term Running Goals:

OK!! Maybe Boston should be my Long-term goal..... hmmm?

Personal:

I am happily Married, with a big dog and no children yet!!!

What an adventure today out running the snow covered, uplowed streets of St. Paul.... I believe at run time of Noon the temp was -1 but it was very Sunny out. Amanda, Bridget and I ran towards Swede Hallow but the path was not plowed at all, so we stayed on the street and went up most of Mounds Hill. We turned around at the park area and I think that is about a 3mile run that took us 27:37 for time.  I felt pretty good and think my legs are feeling better, they are not feeling so heavy anymore. I am glad that I had people to run with or I might have not gone at all. We will see what tomorw brings... It time to get back in my groove.

see ya!

Wow, It actually warmed up to almost 20 today.... Ran with Jessica at 11:30am because of 1pm meetings, yeah! Anyway it was quite an adventure trying to navigate the streets of St. Paul but Jessica and I adapted. We headed towords Swede Hallow and part of the path was plowed but once we got up to W Seventh the plowed path just ended.... So we had to hit the streets and any open sidewalks. We ran for 27:41 by my watch, so I am guess around 3 miles we went today.... I hope to run tomorrow at Lunch and try to go farther if time lets us.

See you out Running!!!

Well Happy Friday!!! I am glad that I was able to get out and run today... It was only in the teens today but at least it was sunny.  We ran at noon from the Y, John and I.... Sorry you couldn't make it Amanda! So we headed towards Swede Hallow same as yesterday but today the rest of the Swede Hallow trail was plowed now... which is great!!! We ran a little farther today, I think it was around 2 miles up to Phalen Blvd and then we turned around. So a total of 4 miles to end my work week feels good. I am just starting back and will get more miles in the next coming weeks.  Don't think I am going to be able to get any runs in this weekend... So glad I got this done! It took us 41:29 but we stopped and took pictures of the beautiful snow. I will try and post some on here for people to see.  See you out running!!! one step in front of the other!
