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!

Tim's wife, Ashley, hasn't been running with us because she hurt her quad. She's been doing physical therapy and has been cleared to do 3 miles 3 times a week now. So the first mile was warm up as I ran to the corner to meet them. Miles 2-5 were with Ashley. The rest were just Tim and I. It's good to have her back. It was a fun run.

Tomorrow everyone is off work including my husband, so we're meeting at 9am! Woo Hoo! Sleeping in a little! 15K race is on Saturday.

Good luck on the 15K. Just saw the report for your last one, then it looks like you later did a 15-miler at a faster pace! I bet you're looking forward to this one.

Yeah, I know! I was really "off" on Labor Day. I think I was sore from the run 2 days prior to the race.

I think my plan this 15K is going to be to start out around 7:20 and just maintain until the last 3 miles and then try to get faster. We will see how fit I really am after this race. I'm a little nervous that I'll disappoint myself again. I really should get in a good 7:20 tempo run today but babysitting is lacking. Maybe when my hubby gets home from work. At least the weather has improved!
