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.

OK, I have been a VERY BAD blogger!!! I am so behind on logging my miles... it's shameful, I know. I'm re-committing.

PM: Sugarhouse Park / Highland Track - I felt heavy in my knees tonight. The heart was willing, the legs not so much.

On the positive side of things, your lack of posting lately, and then coming back allowed me to find and fix a bug in my new "Lone Faithfuls" feature. A Lone Faithful is a runner that has blogged in the last 7 days, but made the top 7 least commented blogs in the last 7 days. Naturally, a runner that has not blogged for a while, and just barely put some entries in would fit that definition, and I noticed that you were not on the list. This comment will take you off the list, though :-)

Keep blogging so we can track your training and then we can help each other in our training. There is a group of ladies and men on the blog now who have a sub 3 as a goal.
