Personal:

I have loved to run since I was a little girl when I won my first race against a neighbor boy in his backyard. I have run recreationally ever since, but never really setting any goals other than distance or to participate in a race for the fun of it. So this is all new territory for me and I'm feeling very out of my league. At the suggestion of a friend, here I am... trying to get to the next step in my running. Besides being a runner, I own an IT Staffing company, am a yoga instructor and snowboarder. I have a wonderful husband and beautiful baby girl.

8:48 average pace (on grass), ran negative splits. Hamstrings in left leg were feeling a little nudgey... I think I just need to get on the roller & release my quad attachments, IT-band & hip flexors.

city route on road - felt really good, but getting impatient with the progress of my speed on these longer runs. I've been off the wagon for too long and am unhappy that I'm suffering the consequences... ;)
