Ran Boston in April 2009 and had an absolute blast.
Half Marathon PR 1:35.
10k PR-46:20 (Obviously not a great short distance runner:)
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. Long-Term Running Goals: Under 1:30 half
3:15 marathon
Personal: Married with children. 17,16,14,11 and 7. 3 boys, 2 girls. I have the best husband in the world! |

Went to the gym and did lower body weights and abs followed by 1 hour on the stairclimber.
I need to finish reading Breaking Dawn so I can move on with my life! I started Twilight last Saturday and am almost done with Breaking Dawn. My husband is irritated that I have been reading so much but I kind of feel like a teenage girl reading these dang books! They are sooo good. Anyway, my point in writing this down is to put the reason for not running today. I can read much better when I am on the stairclimber:) Like I said, almost done.
BTW, I ended up sick again on Thanksgiving. It stunk! So, that is why my last week was crappy on the running end of things. Although, I got lots of reading in:) |

YUCK! I feel crappy. This flu stuff I had last week is really making me feel yucky still. I just have no energy and a massive head ache.
I went to the gym and did and hour step endurance class. I was going to do weights but my head is pounding so I didn't. Hope I start feeling better soon because right now I don't have any motivation to work out:( |

| Well, I finally got back out running today. I still feel a little crappy. I keep getting bad headaches. Anyway, I ran with my brother today down on the trail. We took it pretty easy because it was cold and icy and neither of us have done much the past couple of weeks. Overall pace 8:59. I actually felt really good during the run but I'm feeling a little nauseated now. | |

Well, I really intended this week to be better but I had one of my kids with asthma aggrivated by pneumonia, and another one with the flu. So much fun. Anyway, I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill. I did 4 miles at a 8:49 and then 1 mile at 8:00, then did a half mile at 8:49 pace, half mile at 7:30 pace, half mile at 8:49 pace, half mile at 6:44 pace and then cooled down from 8:49 down to 10:00. I definately can feel my lack of running. I need to get my booty in gear.
I am not too excited about this weather. I don't mind cooler weather but the wind and snow make me want to stay in bed. | |

Finally bet back up with the BBK's this morning. Fun run. Ran first half with Jody and Julie and the second half with Jody. It was snowing but it was fun. I forgot my Garmin so no time. I think we were around 8:40 the first part and 8:15 the second.
I officially entered being the mother of a teenage daughter today! Happy Birthday to my oldest, she obviously is 13! Aah, where did the time go? | |

Met Julie at the gym at 7:00. Ran first 6 miles at a 8:49 pace. Picked it up to a 8:19 for a mile, then did some intervals. Cooled down for 1/2 mile. I really didn't plan on any speed but the treadmill gets boring and it is nice to mix it up a little. Enjoyed Julie's company as always:)
I'm feeling my motivation coming back. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I've gained 5 pounds and I'm going to Hawaii next month. Nothing like a week in a swimming suit to motivate weight loss:) |

| Went to the gym and ran on tready. 30 minutes at 8:49 pace, 15 min. at 8:29 pace, and last 15 at 8:00. Overall, 8:34. I felt good but my heart rate is up a little and continuing to climb at the end of my runs. It amazes me how fast I lose fitness. Did shoulders/biceps/abs. Only did 3 movements for each with 2 sets for each movement (15/12 sets). Again, I haven't done weights for a few weeks and I definately felt it today. |

| 75 minute travel step interval class. Whew, I was exhausted! Not a great class to do when you end up being up all night in blizzard conditions. It ended up snowing SOOOO much at our house on christmas eve-christmas day. We had 5+ foot snow drifts and I'm sure it ended up snowing another 18+ inches. We went to open our garage to leave Christmas morning and had a 3 foot wall of snow. The hubby put the old suburban in 4 wheel drive and rallied out of the driveway. A little scary! |

I met Julie at the gym and ran on the treadmill. You know it's bad when you go to bed with a stomach ache and wake up with one. I started running and knew I was in for it. I took my pace up to 6.7 and thought I'd puke so I took it back down to 6 and stayed there for quite a while. Took it up to 6.4 for a while then to 6.7 and decided to call it quits at 9 miles. We'd planned on 12 but.... Julie got over 10 miles in the same amount of time. I don't know what my deal was or is. I still feel yucky. Now that Christmas is over, I need to dump all the goodies in the garbage and start over. I think my body is on a permanent sugar high and going on strike:) |

| Went to the gym bright and early this morning. Actually, it was dark and early:) I've decided to get my workouts done earlier so I don't feel like it is controlling my days. Anyway, I did 4.2 miles and then had to go potty so I decided to do some lower body and abs in the middle of my run and break up the treadmill bore a little. Got back on the treadmill for another 2.3. Overall pace was around 8:45. Felt a little pooped today. I'm sure it is all the sugar I've been eating. NO MORE! |

Met up with the BBK's this morning at 5:45. Ran through Parkway Palisades towards Riverton and back. Did some hill repeats (ugh!) and there were other hills also. I felt kind of crappy today. Hopefully some consistancy will cure that. Overall pace was kind of slow 9:07. Oh well, I'm building my base, right?
Oh, we had 2 owies this morning. Cheryl fell hard with about 1 mile to go and Peggy fell at the very end. My heart can't handle these falls and it isn't even me. | |

I was going to run outside today but I decided that the step class would be fun so I headed to the gym and did the 75 minute travel step interval class and wowwie! I felt like I had just run a half marathon. I'm pooped (thats for you Burt)! If I was going to count miles, I'd say it was equivelant to 9 miles.
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO EVERYONE!!!
