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

Ughhh!!! I felt like crap today. Met the BBK's today and grateful that I had a group to push me  because I probably would've quit early had I not. We did a 3.85 mile warm-up @ 9:42 AP. I had to climb 2 fences to get back to the meeting place:) Cheris and me ran through Bingham High looking for an open bathroom and then had to catch up with the group. I ran my first couple miles of the speed part at a decent pace but started to slow significantly. My AP was 8:45 for the next 6.2 miles. I had decided not to watch my pace on my garmin today and usually when I do this, I run faster but I just had 0 energy today. I could tell I was running slow but I was giving it more effort than the pace. Oh well, there's always tomorrow!

That is why I hate the garmin sometimes! We all have off days, and today you pushed as hard as you could. Do not let the pace discourage you!!!

Hey, at least you got out of bed which is more than I can say for some people!
