Female

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.

Ran 3.5 and walked .5.  Did the running at a measly 5mph on the treadmill.  My legs seemed more tired today...maybe from our good 1.5 mile hike we did yesterday as a family.  Hopefully tomorrow I can do some more speed work.

TM again as usual.  Decided to go a little faster today.  Ran 2 miles at 6mph and walked .5 miles.  Really had to push myself to keep going at the faster speed for the whole 2 miles but I made it so I am improving.

Well, today was my birthday so I decided to change my running schedule a little to make today my day of rest and tomorrow my run day.  I decided not to work out at all.  After lying in bed tonight for a few minutes I just couldn't stand not exercising at all and I got up and did my basic pilates followed by push-ups and crunches.  I think I'm hooked on the exercise now.

For push-ups I started over the 100 push-up challenge with regular form push-ups.  I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish though because they hurt my wrists and my back.  I'll try again in a few days.  On sit-ups I am still on week 6, day 1, column 3.  These I did ok on and should be able to complete the 200 next week.

Ran 3.5, walked .5.  I watched the original Winnie the Pooh with the kids while running.  It's been a while since I've seen that one, it brought back memories.

Had to go on the treadmill for my long run again today.  Matt has been working constantly lately so I just have to do what I have to do.  Ran 5 miles at 5mph and walked 1/2 mile.  I still can't believe I'm actually up to 5 miles now!  I guess that makes me a runner.
