God willing, I will run until the end.
Personal:
I run with God. I use my running time to contemplate, to pray and to listen for His call. I'm married to a non-runner, but a supportive one, and we have four children.
I'm getting into a rhythm now. I'm going 4 easy, no stress miles along a well-worn path, then running a couple more miles the following day, throwing in a little speed in the end. I have no concrete plans for training yet, but I have decided that in 2 weeks or so, it's time to get a little more serious.
Light Blue Saucony Miles: 4.00

Sounds like a good plan. You sound much more "comfortable" with running than you did a few weeks ago. Maybe it was just the winter blahs. We are all soo ready for spring. :)

I betcha you will feel way better about running when spring weather rolls around--I'm excited to see what plans you have in mind. This would be a good year to go after some PR's. ;)

Thanks, guys! Stacy, I am feeling much better about running now that I am actually pushing myself for the first time in months.
And April, I'm thinking of aiming for PRs in the 5K and 10K. I will be running a 1/2 in late April, but I want to target a 10K in May as my key race. I also would like to look for a 5K in early April to go for a PR. This is why I have no idea how to train :)
