Short-Term Running Goals:

I would love to improve my times without stressing too much on race day. I would like to become a fitter and stronger runner.

(better than last year)

Long-Term Running Goals:

It would be pretty awesome to qualify for Boston, and I am now closer than I was before, but I still have to knock just over 25 minutes off my time.

Personal:

I am married, no kids, two dogs. I am a schoolteacher who moved in June 2009 from Florida to Georgia.

I was so tired when I started this run, but thankfully I was able to wake up a bit and have a good day. The weather was a tad warmer than it had been, but not bad. It helped that it was so early as I started soon after the sun came up. I was also fortunate enough to avoid most of the traffic issues.

Best time of day to run. I admire runners in your part of the country this time of year. We have some hot summer seasons here in Utah but without the humidity.. I used to live in Kentucky a while back:) Keep it going.

Thanks Steve. It can be rough some days, but it is part of living in the south. I understand that in Utah you guys have some serious hills to contend with during your runs. Stay strong.
