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!

GREAT RUN!!   Ran with my group today!  Haven't run with them since Dec 18th.  These long runs with my friends make the struggle to keep up with my weekday runs totally worth it.  I am so surprised that I ran well today considering how few miles I've been logging lately.  I think the treadmill runs have helped me stay fast.  Everytime I run on the treadmill, I do speedwork. 

Today we ran part of the Cowtown Marathon course.  The Marathon training group did 19 miles and the HM training group did 10 miles.  After these last several weeks of reducing my milage, I have decided to drop myself to the HM schedule. There were several hills on this portion.  We started out with a pretty big group - about 15 people.   No one wanted to get lost running on all the city streets.  It was fun! About mile 7, the people running 19 miles split off. 

When there was 2.5 miles left, we got off the city streets and ran on the trails back to the running store.  At this point, I turned on my ipod and speeded up.  Only one guy kept pace with me.  We kinda raced at the end.  He was behind me for 2 miles, but with about 2 football fields to go, he got in front... I briefly thought about letting him go ahead, but then I punched it up this steep hill and passed him again...   I thought I defeated him but I guess I underestimated him.  On the downhill with only 40 yards left, he passed me back.  I didn't have enough juice left to kick into a higher gear.  He finished about 10 yards ahead of me.  Ah well.  I'm impressed with myself that I ran that fast.
