Short-Term Running Goals:

I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

Married with children. 17,16,14,11 and 7. 3 boys, 2 girls. I have the best husband in the world!

Race: Utah Human Race (3.1 Miles) 00:22:34, Place overall: 86, Place in age division: 1

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
0.50	0.00	3.10	0.00	3.60

Warmed up for 1/2 mile. Felt kind of crappy and this wasn't my best race. It was a PR for a 5k race but not for the distance. I haven't done a 5k race in 4 years!

Mile 1-7:28

Mile 2-7:15

Mile 3-7:15

.1-33 seconds (6:21 pace)

I definately felt my lack of running this week and my stomach was still upset. I had nothing left at the end. I got passed on the sprint by 3 girls! Oh well, it was fun and it was my husbands first race. He had only run a couple of times before and finished in 23:43! I was happy for him.

Oh, and Britta beat me by 23 seconds! YAY Britta!

Well, I looked up the actual race results and it said I did it in 22:14. 1st in my age division and 86th overall, and 14th woman. There were 1686 participants.

Michelle,

Considering your sickness, you did AWESOME!! I hate 5Ks!! (Plus, isn't your strength the last half of longer races?)

You did great! Hope you are feeling somewhat better.

Have the best Thanksgiving ever!

GREAT JOB!!!! That is awesome considering what has gone on in your life lately!!! And yeah Britta---did she sprint past you???

From Michelle N. on Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 12:50:07

Thanks Teena! And you are right, it takes me a little while to warm up. Oh well.

Kelli, Britta didn't sprint past me. She must've been up closer to the front because I never saw her. She did great. She must be a sprinter. Not me! I'm a better endurance runner. I'll let you know about Saturday ASAP:)

From Kelli on Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 14:13:02

I think you are wrong---you are both! You are a very strong runner all around!!!

From Teena on Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 23:41:35

Congrats on the 1st place!!

How can you complain about that??

Very nice indeed!! (A little sickness and all ... too amazing.)

From Andy on Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 00:32:31

Your splits look great, you ran a PR, won your age group and beat your husband by a minute. Looks like a great race to me.

From Burt on Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 01:13:47

Woo-hoo! You beat 1000 people.

From Burt on Mon, Dec 01, 2008 at 15:23:32

I mean 1600 people. Oh brother, that was embarassing.
