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!

Had a GREAT run this morning with my group.  It was humid again but I think running in the heat prepared me for that better than if I had been running in the early morning all week.  Also, the speed workout might have helped. 

I ran with my friend, Brenda, who has a 3:31 marathon PR.  She and I were right behind these other two girls who usually smoke me.  Today we decided to keep up with them.  We were only about 150 feet behind them when she had to turn around at mile 6.5 to go back. 

So on my own I caught up to the two girls in front at the mile 11 water stop.  I ran with them the rest of the way.  I couldn't believe I could hang with them... but I did!   One of the girls and I started speeding up in the last 3 miles... but I just had a second wind or something.  I got up to 7:35 a mile and left her in my dust!!  

So I was the first girl in my whole running group to finish today.  I was 3rd overall behind two guys who run 6 minute pace in marathons - they told me they ran it today at 7:20 pace because it was so humid.
