Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom. I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed. I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011. I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs. When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time. After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022. I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

Ran this morning with James and two other guys I didn't know their names. Emily didn't run today because her foot was bothering her. I just plugged my ipod in and tried to hang on to the pace as long as I could today.

Felt pretty good miles 1-5. Mile 5 had four steep short hills one after another. After the hills we stopped for water and then we settled back into a 7:30 pace which felt pretty good to me. Then the guys started getting faster when there were 3 miles to go. I assume they went back to the 7:15 pace. I couldn't hang. I ran the final 3 miles by myself and apparently 7:40 was the best I could do. In my defense though, the wind was directly in my face those three miles. It was blowing me all over the place. I felt pretty good, but it seemed that I couldn't get myself into a faster gear. I estimate that they finished about 45 seconds or a minute ahead of me.

We've been having major wind lately... like at least 20 mph. I see wind is in the forecast for all this week too. It would be so great if the wind was gone by the time of my half marathon race is next Sunday. The wind will be a factor in whether or not I'm going to be about to do my goal of running a 1:37 (7:22 pace). I guess we will see.

I don't know what it is about the wind but it really throws me off... Especially when it gusts. I feel really jerky in my running. Maybe I need to research running tecniques for windy conditions.

I'll be hoping for low wind conditions for your race on Sunday...I really want to see you beat your PR...!
