Personal: I've been running since high school (mid-1990s) and do pretty well when I'm focused on a goal. My main problem is running consistently when I'm NOT training for something specific. I'm an attorney, and I've been married to my husband, also a runner, for 5 1/2 years. We live in Phoenix, Arizona. We had a beautiful baby girl, Caroline, in August 2009. |

Ouch! I woke up with somewhat sore abs and slightly sore glutes, so I thought, Sure! I can run 15 miles after church!
Nope! We only made it 8 miles, and my legs were screaming after about 2 miles. I think I set a record of my slowest average pace ever. Actually, though, I'm very happy with the fact that I could run 8 miles the day after a race. Now I'm going to make sausage cheese biscuits and spinach dip for my caroling party tonight-yum!
I think I might take tomorrow off. | | Comments(1) |

| I ran 6 miles by myself tonight. It was 63 degrees-cold for a Phoenician! I ran it in 1:00:50, 10:08 average. It felt easy, but my legs were a little sore, probably from wearing heels all day. It was a good run. | | Comments(1) |

Tonight was the usual 6 miles with my friend. When we run together, it's usually 11:00 pace or slower. It's been working well, because even though I've ramped up the mileage quite a bit, I have felt very fresh most of the time by running at such an easy pace. Tonight we ran a 10:30 average, so she's getting faster!
I can't believe she has talked me into the marathon. I'm actually very excited, even though I know it will be one of my slowest marathons. It will be nice to not worry about time, though, and it will be fun to help her through her first marathon (who knows, maybe I'll be the one needing the help!). Her goal is 5 hours or less. Hopefully it will all work out. Plan B is the half marathon. I would probably just shoot for breaking 2:00. | | Add Comment |

| We cut the run a little short tonight. My knees are getting a little sore from all the mileage, so I'm glad I'm taking tomorrow off. The weather was perfect. | | Add Comment |

I had planned to run 15 miles today with my friend, but my body was just not cooperating. I guess going from couch potato to 40+ mile weeks in six weeks just doesn't work well! We ran eight miles with another friend. Then he went home, and I rode my bike alongside my friend for the last seven miles. I converted the bike miles to running miles, but because I was riding so slowly, I'm not sure it counts. Hey, I'll count it anyway.
I'm not doing the marathon anymore, which is fine. I'm mostly disappointed that I won't be able to pace my friend, but I have higher priorities in my life right now, and lots of running impedes those priorities. I am going to have to cut my mileage back, but I'm not sure by how much. Maybe I'll post the question on the discussion forum, if I get brave enough. | | Comments(1) |
