Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences.  I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn.  I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

8.5 miles outside, 8:06 AP.  mile 1, 8:48 pace, last 800 meters 7:08 pace.

I am working on giving myself a running makeover.

Heres the background:  I started running in Summer 2010.  I ran my first half marathon Oct 2010 (Halloween Half Marathon).  Before that race the furthest I had ever ran outside was 10k distance.  Every workout I did was medium/hard and almost always an all out effort.  I was an idot new runner and I think this is actually a common mistake.  I continued with this method until just recently.

Anyway I am now just trying to train smarter and figure out what my "natural running pace" is.  I haven't ever really known how to just run naturally since I have always pushed myself too hard in workouts.  I have really been absorbing everything I can from others and especially everyone on the blog and think this will be a good change. 

My plan is to run easier for the next few months (besides 2 "fun runs") and focus on conditioning.  We shall see how it goes.

HA! This is seriously funny to me for just one reason. Today I decided I dork around in my running too much and DONT push myself enough. The exact opposite. Maybe you and I need to run together and find our happy medium! :)

You have made amazing progress and should be very proud of yourself! That being said, I had a running makeover starting last year and would highly recommend it :)

I think you have a great plan in place and the right attitude about how to get where you want to be. Keep having fun and next year is going to be super exciting for you!
