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

Met some of the BBK's this beautiful morning for 20 miler #2. It ended up being an AWESOME run. I felt so good the whole time and the weather was perfect (a little windy at times but I'm not complaining). I think we all felt good and it was definitely the week I needed. We started out a little slower for the first 5 miles or so but picked up significantly and averaged 8:26. We had several miles under 8 and lots just right around 8. I think my garmin is having some issues and it may be time to splurge and buy a new one. We ended at Michelle M.'s and had yummy bagels and chocolate milk. I really feel good right now and ready to enjoy the rest of the weekend. One more 20 and then BOSTON!!!

You did great! One of these days I want to feel like you do after a 20 miler. Thanks for the bagels and chocolate milk!
