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.

I was lazy last week but I really think my body needed the rest to recover.  Today I ran 5 and walked .5.  It felt really good and was actually not that hard to do.  I didn't need to walk at all and even finished mowing the lawn when I got done.  I'm going to have to repeat last week's training schedule this week since I really didn't do it.  I must say though that today I really enjoyed my run...just for that I'm glad I took last week off because I was hating it last week.

It feels good to be on track again.  I'm starting to get a little sore again because I got busy with the kids right after my run today and didn't stretch very well.  Guess I better go do some stretches.

I did it.  No excuses this week.  Even though I'm tired and don't feel great I'm just going to keep on keeping on.  I was able to finish my run.  It was harder than the 5 miles I did on Monday but it wasn't horrible.  I will get to do my long on Sat. outside with Matt because we are going camping for a family reunion...I do look forward to getting off the treadmill!

We were camping for one of Matt's many family reunions at Fort Buenaventura in Odgen.  I got up and ran 3 miles with his parents and sister.  Then I ran 6 more miles with Matt.  That's the longest run I've done to date and my legs are quite sore now but it was a beautiful run and I enjoyed it.
