Marathon PR St. George 2008 3:36

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 ran on the treadmill. Did 1/2 mile warm up from 4.5-7.0 mph and then ran 6.75 miles at 7.0 (8:34 pace) did 1/4 mile at 9.0 (6:39 pace) and did 1/4 cooldown. I felt awesome today and I'm hoping this continues. Also did back and biceps. Not enough time for abs today.

Met the BBK's at Parkway Palisades today at 5:15 for the extra miles. I don't know if any of the miles were actually easy today. We did my favorite workout (not), HILLS! I am sore already and very tired. Peggy, you are an animal!!! I really felt pretty good until the last 2 hills and I really started to fade but pushed through. My throat burns a little from the inversion junk. I guess it's like smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day to run in the junk so I don't know if I'm doing good or harm by running but oh well, hopefully it clears out soon.

On another note, I got a call from a gym yesterday and they want me to come teach group fitness 3 mornings a week. I'm excited but kind of nervous. Also, my parents are coming home from their mission today! They've been gone for 18 months and I can't wait to see them.

Afternoon walk with dog and child (1/2 mile)

Went to the gym and did 60 minute step endurance class, followed by 1 1/2 miles on the treadmill at 8:34 pace, and lower body weights and abs. I was pretty sore and tired from yesterdays workout. Way to go Peggy!

Met the BBK's this morning. It was actually a pretty nice morning. We warmed up for 2.97 miles before the rest of the group got there and then did another 1.33 warm up. Average pace for warm up miles was 9:07 (kind of slow but I REALLY needed that today). We then did 2x2mile tempos and cooled down for about 3/4 mile. Pace for this part of the workout was 8:17. The temperature was so nice that I shed my coat and gloves after the warm up but I didn't feel the greatest today. I was really tired and my tummy was a little upset.

Afternoon walk (1 mile)

Met at Cheris's house this morning at 6:30. Julie, Michelle, Cheris, Dean, Eric, Allen, and Kimberly all came. The route we ran is mostly uphill the first 10 miles and then gradual down the rest of the way. I was HAMMERED at about mile 4 and fell back a bit. Our first 9 miles or so were around 9:00 and then we settled down into the low 8's. Overall pace averaged at 8:52. I took sport beans at 6 and hammer gel at 12. I got home and have been completely lazy today. I haven't been this beat up after a run ever. I did up my miles and speed this week so maybe that was the problem:)  Also got up in the 4 o'clock hour 2 days and earlier than normal the rest of the days. Hopefully I can start feeling better.
