Boston Qualifier

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!

Next Marathon: Soldier Marathon in Columbus, GA on Saturday, November 12th.  Completed: Time of 4:16:58
(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 9 and walked one with my running buddy.  I was not able to run at my normal pace, but it was so nice to catch up with my friend.  It was a beautiful morning for a run.

Since I felt the need to go into work this morning, I ran from home.  It was also raining, but going to the gym was not an option as it wasn't going to be open early enough.  The rain was never too heavy, but was not light when I started.  Fortunately, it did lighten up.  I really enjoyed my rainy run and thanfully, it was not cold.  I was soaked when I finished.

I ran from home this morning just so I could get to work a little bit earlier.  I felt alright and had a neighborhood husky join me for a few miles.

I decided to get to the gym for my run this morning as I ran outside yesterday morning.  I also felt the need to run faster as I usually do at the gym.

WALKING MILES.  I walked 3.1 miles this afternoon with a colleague as part of a healthy initiative program that we are doing at school.  We hope to have many more participants next week.

I went to the gym this morning, but only ran five as I needed to put gas in my car on the way home.  I felt good even though I was quite tired when I first got up.

It was a beautiful morning for a run.  I ran 10 from home so that I could get in to work for a two-hour tutoring session.  I felt good, completing the distance on a hilly run in just over 1:45.

After sleeping in and walking the dogs, I was able to get out for my run by around 10:00am.  I decided to bring my music and do my best as I was already feeling tired after the dog walk.  Fortunately, I was able to get moving fairly well and enjoyed a 7 mile run.

I finally got myself back to the gym.  I was ready for the change of scenery.  My run went well, although as usual, as the temperature warmed up outside, the gym warmed up inside.
