Running Accomplishments:

I have completed 13 marathons, 13 half marathons and a variety of shorter distances.  My PR in the marathon is now 4:11:44, December 2009.  I finished my last half on October 30, 2010 and set a new PR by 48 seconds with a time of 1:53:48. Next race: Athens Half Marathon- Sunday, October 21st.

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.

Next Half Marathon:  Silver Comet Half Marathon on Saturday, October 30th. Completed: Time of 1:53:48 PR!

(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 ran from home this morning, getting started a bit before the sun came up.

I ran at the gym this morning and took advantage of it being a pre-planning day at work.  I took my time and still got to work without being late.  I felt good as I watched some re-runs of Law and Order.

I went to the gym this morning in the hopes of completing 8 miles.  Unfortunately, I was only able to get 7 in due to pace, time and bathroom stops.

I slept in until about 6:30am and then went for my run.  It was slow, but I felt alright as I enjoyed my music along the way.  Temperatures were in the mid-40's with no change.

I ran 8 long miles outside today. Temperatures were in the mid-40's and it was windy.  My mind was on multiple things and not focused.

I was back at the gym this morning for my early morning run.  It was freezing outside, which made the gym extra appealing.  I almost stopped after 7 miles, but thought, I need 8, therefore, that's what I did.

I was tired and knew I would be in for a long day today.  The only issue with my run this morning, was that I essentially had to stop every mile to blow my nose.  If it is cold outside, the gym is also cold.  I had to stop after 7 miles, due to work purposes.

I met up with my running buddy this morning.  It has been over a month since we have run together.  We ran the first 6 miles, but then walked the rest.  My friend has been barely running.  I could have run the last four, but I decided that our friendship was a bit more important.  As long as I could keep moving, I was alright.  I definitely did not have the same feeling, but it was alright.

As today is MLK day, I was able to sleep in and then go run.  The run was alright, but it was cold.

I went to the gym this morning and get my run in.  Mindless television kept me company along the way.

Due to snow and possible ice, I slept in this morning.  I chose to go to the gym after my husband told me he had slipped on some ice outside.  It wasn't the most interesting run, but Law and Order kept me company and my average pace was under 10:00 min/ mile. Therefore, I can't complain too much.

I got up at 6:30 this morning, ate and was out on my run.  With my mother-in-law coming to visit, I needed to get this run in and still have time to shower and clean a little bit.  Thankfully, it all worked out well.
