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

Went to the Jazz game last night and by the time we picked up our kids from Jared's moms house and got home, it was 11:15. Fell asleep at 11:45 and woke up at 5:00 to the sound of rain and wind. I was supposed to be to Julie's at 7:00 and I layed there until 6:30 listening to the rain, dreading the run. I called Julie at 6:30 and woke her up because being the blonde I am, forgot to set my clock back. DUH! She informed me that it was only 5:30 so I had another hour to sleep. We decided to meet at the gym at 7:00 and do our run on the treadmill. It was actually a pretty good run. We started out a little slow but picked it up about 6 miles in and then ran a 5k at marathon pace with a 6:58 1/4 mile at the end, followed by a cooldown. Overall pace 8:30. I felt good other than it being SOOOO hot in the gym. There was no airflow and I got really sweaty.

*So, get your laughs but I just played Dance Dance Revolution with my daughter for 45 minutes and WOW! I think it is a great workout. It is like doing a step class.

Great run - very impressive on the treadmill.

Yes, wow, 12 miles on the treadmill, that is impressive. Keep up the great running! And not bad with the DDR, I know from watching my girls do it that it's a great workout.
