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.

Firehouse workout. Tough stuff, but not as bad as the first time. Half way done with the program. Woot.

I woke up at 4am with nothing to do, so I drove to Gold's Gym for some inpiration. I jumped on the TM for a couple easy miles, then threw in a few intervals to make it interesting.

3X400 @ 6:00, 5:47, 5:25

3x200 @ 5:15, 5:00, 4:52,

3X100@ 5:00, 4:41, 4:17

Equal active rest @7:30 pace

6 miles total

Then I drove over to Firehouse for the 6:30 boot camp class. Lots of core stuff + throwing around a bunch of tires. I never made it to the sludge hammer station. This included a couple runs too, 2.25 miles total.

I got pulled over on the way home becuase I took my hair out of a pony tail. I  swerved into the left turning lane for a sec and was caught on the spot for crazy driving. I had a lot of explaining to do in regards to who's car I was driving. It's a long story. He got bored, so cut me off and let me go with a never-do-my-hair-while-driving-again warning.  #neverdomyhairwhiledrivingagainwarning

I pretty much toed the line for a local 5k this morning- but ended up turning around and jumping in my car and driving home instead. Two weeks ago,  I hurt the outside of my foot during a Tempo Tuesday run. I'm not even really sure how it happened. It was cold and raining and suddenly my foot had a sharp pain below the outside of my little toe. Now, anytime I wear any fitted shoes, it hurts. I have exactly one pair of boat-like shoes that does not irritate it. They are fine for training, but not speed work or racing. In fact, I was forced to wear them for the last half marathon I did earlier this month which made me feel clumsy. I'm not sure if it is a bunion issue, nerve or bone spur.  It only took me .5 mi into the warm up to see that it was going to start screaming if I ran much more on it. I debated going home and running on the TM, but decided to rest instead.

After two weeks, I think I'll just drop by the podiatrist for a quick check. Hopefully the day doesn't turn out as bad as it did the last time I visited his office.
