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!

My husband is out of town on business so I am unable to run as much as I'd like. Thankfully, a cold front came through and dropped the temperature down to the 80's!!!! I went to the park with my sister and nephew. First, I took Ryan and Jake for a 2.4 mile run in the double jogging stroller. Then I took Jake and my newphew for a .7 mile run in the double. Then I took Ryan all by himself in the single jogging stroller for a .5 mile run. Then it started raining so I had to stop for the kids. It was perfect running weather though, I wish I could have kept going.

10 miles at 6:30 am. Averaged 8:46 pace including 4 water stops.

My husband was out of town this week so I was unable to run as much (no babysitter). Today's group run went really well though. I was feeling fresh from the extra rest and it was cool weather with low humidity (such a nice change).

I'm thinking I'm doing this backwards but the way I've been training... I run 6-8 miles weekdays at an easy 10:00 to 10:30 pace... and then on Saturday's with my group I run long runs of 10 or more miles much, much faster. I can't help it. I am so competitive. It's so much fun running with people and pushing myself. Is this a bad way to train???

With marathon training ramping up milage, my group on Saturdays's is running 15 miles and 16 miles the next two Saturdays... then we do a 8-10 miler the following Saturday... then it's 17 and 18 miles... another 8-10 miler and then we max out at 19 and 20 mile runs... then it's a two week taper... then marathon day.

Splits - I tried something different today with my watch. I never stopped it the entire run, but I hit the lap button at each water stop and then again we we started again. This way my actual running pace average was not affected by the water stop but ... since the clock doesn't stop in a race, I didn't want to stop it when I stopped for water in training.
