Personal:

I have been a runner off and on since I was a kid. Its something I have always loved and hope to be running until I'm just too old to do it anymore. I enjoy running some 5ks and halfs each year and try to be consistent with my training. But I often find it challenging with three kids to get all the miles in that I want to.

I love my kids so much, but running really is my sanity and I enjoy my "me" time. I may just be forever a "middle of the pack" runner but have hopes of getting faster.

Total Distance

15.00

Well this was a long run record for me today, I have never been this far before. 15 miles, 9:40 AP. Toby from the blog invited me out for a group run and had some really great company this morning. It is really nice to have people to chat with, makes the miles just fly by. My legs feel fine, I think it helped that we stopped for several water breaks and stretched. After this run I feel like a Full Marathon really will be an obtainable goal for me this year. Hoping to run one this fall, just not sure which one yet. Gotta pick a good one for my first. Now for a nap I think.

Congratulations on your first 15-miler! If you can run that far, you can certainly do a marathon distance just on the adrenaline and excitement of race day. Running with people definitely is so much more fun.

I'm so glad you were able to come and it was great to meet you! You did a great job this morning! Make sure you have an ice bath and cross train for a few days!

Thanks, it felt like a real accomplishment. Legs are feeling a little tired now, but I've felt worse. Did a cold water bath for 10 min, was too pansy to add any ice.

That is just awesome! Yes, you can definitely do a marathon. Maybe Top of Utah would be a good one because you would have the rest of the summer to train. Do it! :)

Congrats on 15.
