Hi.  I'm new here.  After reading Allie's blog and browsing a few others, I'm thinking this is a good way for me to track my mileage, follow what other runners are doing, and get training ideas and suggestions.  I just registered for the TOU marathon in September and the Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half Marathon in August, so I figure its time to start getting serious about my training and bumping up my mileage.  Up until now, I've just been running 4 or 5 days a week, probably averaging 25-30 miles a week.  Now I'm going to get up to 45-60 miles a week as I train for my marathon.  This is only my second marathon, so any and all comments, suggestions are welcome and appreicated.  Thanks for reading!

Monday:  Ran out and back on the Big Dry Creek trail by my house.  Ave. Pace 6:53. Total of 800 feet elevation change over 8 miles.  Felt great and very happy with my effort.

Aaron had an early networking meeting and I slept in too long, so I had to go to the fitness center and put the kids in child care .  Ran 4.5 miles, mile 2 and mile 4 were 6:00 pace.  Ave. 7:13  Glad I ran fast because the child care people paged me just as I finished and said my baby had been crying for 20 minutes.  Guess I better go more often so she gets over that separation anxiety phase.

Out and back on big dry creek trail.  Felt awesome!  Saw a coyote running on the trail in front of me for a bit around mile 9.

Aaron was out of town today, mountain biking with friends in Fruita.  So I was on my own.  Was planning on going to the fitness center to run on the treadmill, but people kept calling and saying they wanted to come look at these cabinets I have listed on Craigslist, so I had to stick around home...and the Cabinets are still not sold.  Ugh.  Got a ton of work done around the house though!  And finally at around 5 p.m. I fixed my bike tire, hooked up the bike trailer and toddler seat and toted the three kiddos over to the grocery store to get a few things before tomorrow.  It wasn't really a workout until we started coming back UP the hill on the way home.  With the weight of the groceries, 42 lb Abe, 30 lb Breanne and 20 lb Ali....yes, it was quite a pull.  I actually had to get Abe and Breanne out and they ran along side me up the steepest part.  Kinda neccessary when I couldn't even keep the front tire on the ground at one point.  :)

Anyway, long story short, I'm calling it 1.5 miles of running effort to make my week an even 35 miles.  I'll gradually build up to more weekly mileage, but this is the biggest week I've done in a while, to be honest.
