Goal Type:

Half Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

Started running Jan. 26, 2009.  I've ran 6 days a week since and have only missed 2 days.

I no longer hate to run.

 May 9, 2009 ran I-Drive 5K in Orlando FL in 29:58

Short-Term Running Goals:

Run a 5K in 30 minutes.

I have just decided to train for a half marathon.

  • July 11 Farmington Festival Days 1/2 Marathon

Long-Term Running Goals:

Continue to run even after my races and be an old running woman.  After my half I just may decide on a full marathon but right now just the thought of the half is daunting.

Personal:

I am married to Matt (Twinkies) who loves to run.  I have been the supportive wife watching him run his races and calling him crazy.  We have 4 kids.  Our oldest is 7 and our youngest is 1 1/2.  I homeschool our two oldest boys.  I have decided that I really want to lose my extra fat and get back into shape.  I have always hated to run but I think I am finally past that.  I hope to someday actually say that I love to run.  I would be proud to call myself a runner.  Most of my runs are on the treadmill because I'm unable to leave the kids home alone while I go out for a jog.

We're in Florida on vacation but I still got up at 6:30 this morning (4:30 according to my body clock) to run 4 miles.  It was beautiful weather although hotter than I'm used to.  I got to run outside and with my hubby instead of on the treadmill and that makes such a difference, not to mention the much easier altitude!  I didn't have a lot of energy though because  I couldn't sleep deeply last night, I must've been too excited to go to Disney World!  We were there all day pushing the kids in stroller so I think it's fair to say that I got in my fair share of exercise for the day.  On our run we ran through an orange orchard which was fun but the ground was sandy and started to really wear me out as it got softer and deeper so we only did about 1/2 mile in the sand.  It was a lot of fun and I really wanted to pick an orange to eat but I didn't.
