Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

You guys, I'm on cloud nine! I woke up at 2:30 AM and couldnt go back to sleep until 6:45AM but then had to get up at 7:20. So I felt like a real zombie from 4 hours of sleep. I was most stressed becuase I had one of my last bigger workouts left to do today and started to wonder if I could do it. Ive had that much sleep in the past and I've been fine, but I just felt super off today. I decided to go for it anyway, but put it off until later in the day; mostly becuase it took me that long to decide if I could do it.

I went to the allegist today due to some extreme asthma I get every winter from exercise induced asthma, but its worse in the cold air. They did some tests and found I was allergic to my favorite things... trees! Mostly evergreens. I guess I will stop licking them. Apparently, since those trees are coming out of dormancy, its really in the air right now. Since I'm trying to heal my lungs the most I can before Boston, I decided to take the workout inside, but I really didnt want to do it on the TM!

WU 1.5

8 mile tempo @ 6:41 first four, then last four at 6:31

Usually the TM is off by about 5-6 seconds per mile, so I averaged more like 6:35 for 8 miles.

I felt so smooth and controlled, it was playing with me. My legs felt like they were going 5k pace but I felt like I could have gone another 5-6 miles. Im really proud of myself.

My pod needs to be re-calibrated again, it had me at 7:00 and 6:50. Even then I killed my goal so I'm stoked.
