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 ran 7 1/2 miles at 8:49 pace. Followed with shoulders/tris/abs. Felt pretty good today. The last mile I started to get a little tired. I've decided to up my mileage by a 1/2 mile per day this week.

Met up with the BBK's this morning and did 6.5 nice paced miles and 1.05 more on my own. Overall pace was 8:40. I did have a sub 8 in there but it all evens out. Felt really good this morning. Ran with Julie the first half and Britta the second half. Great company as always:)

Went to the gym late this morning because I woke up to a flat tire and had to go get it fixed before I went to the gym. Got on the treadmill for 2 miles at an easy pace and then did Ashli's 60 min. step endurance class. WHEW! It was a tough one today. I had sweat dripping so bad. Followed up with back/biceps/abs.

Met the BBK's at Bingham this morning. Did and out and back loop. First 2 miles were a little slower but everything after that was around 8:15. Whoops. Today was supposed to be an easy pace day. Oh well, I think I'll either take the day off tomorrow or only run a couple of miles. Overall pace 8:32. Felt good today.

1.00	11.00	2.10	0.00	14.10

Race time was 1:43. I'll write details later.

Okay, I slept pretty good and we woke up at 7:00. Ate steel cut oats, zip fizz and 1/2 cliff bar. Got to start at 8:35 and found Teena. Julie and I started with her.

Miles

1-8:03 A little faster than we wanted to start.

2-8:06 Pretty good

3-7:59 GU and water stop

4-7:47

5-7:58

6-7:40

7-7:47

8-7:39 I left Julie and Teena because I felt good and wanted to start pushing the pace a bit

9-7:40

10-7:31

11-7:52 GU stop and feeling a little tired

12-7:37

13-7:37

.25-1:42(7:09 pace) -Everyone I talked to measured around this distance on their GPS

This was a good run. It is hard for me to know if I could've done much better because I didn't push it the first 9 miles but started to get tired at the end when I started pushing harder. Although, I passed around 20 women the last 4-5 miles. Always a great thing. Only 2 men passed me from mile 7 on. I feel like I did great considering my slacking during December. Lots of fun.
