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

Married with children. 17,16,14,11 and 7. 3 boys, 2 girls. I have the best husband in the world!

No work today. Ran by my lonesome out along 3600 to 12600 and back up 2700. Felt pretty good. It would've been closer to 9, but I really only wanted 8 so I compromised and walked up the hill at the end when I hit 8.5. AP 9:03

Down 9800 to trail and out to 3.25 and back. First 3.25 miles were just under 9. Last 3.25 averaged around 8:20. I had one right around 8:00. Felt really good and felt good to get the legs moving a little faster. AP 8:40

PM - Did some full body work. Started with isometrics lower and did every other upper. Worked up to doing some plymotrics. Ended with abs and 15 minutes of good rolling and stretching.

4 up 9800 from work and back. First mile is downhill and great to warm up and the next 3 are all uphill. I averaged 8:37 on the way up and decided I wanted to pick it up on the way down. 5 - 8:17, 6 - 7:49, 7 - 7:57, 8 - 8:06 (back uphill). I felt really quite awesome and am excited about the next few months. AP 8:20

Crazy morning and couldn't run as long as I wanted. Probably a good thing though because I had no umph. Started at JRP and ran out 2.25 and back. 9:00 AP

Hmmm, didn't plan on this. Last night found out we would be short a car today so I offered to be the one to do without and run to work. I thought it was around 9.5 miles, but I thought wrong. I realized at about mile 5-6 that I was really pushing it on whether I was going to get here on time or not. I had already been picking up the pace a bit, but really had to start pushing it. 1-7:56(way downhill),2-9:00,3-9:06,4-8:51,5-8:37,6-8:17,7-8:20, 8-8:05,9-7:52,10-8:31,.6-4:57(8:20) Last 1.25 is a good climb so that is why the slow down. I literally ran in the front doors, up the stairs and to my desk with 1 minute to spare. Phew!

Legs were dead and I had no energy! Warmed up for 1.2 at a slow pace and then joined up with the group to do the Riverton 10k. I cut off the last 1.2 because I was DONE! Seriously pooped! AP 9:20ish
