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 this morning in 5 Points for the first time in quite awhile.  It was nice as the course is quite flat.  It felt good to run at a decent pace outside.

It finally rained this morning after I don't know how long without rain.  It wasn't raining when I first started, but I was wet from about 2-3 miles in until I finished.  I didn't mind as I was dressed appropriately.  It was a nice way to start the day and my birthday.

I ran from home this morning so that I could get 8 miles in instead of 7.  I was also able to take advantage of the larger than normal moon to give me light on the streets.  It was pretty cool.

I was able to get 7 miles in at the gym before work.  This was not a normal day for me as I will be unable to run on Saturday due to my trip to NY.

I woke up this morning at my brother's house to 3 inches of snow  on the ground.  I was not expecting this, but needless to say, rna anyway.  I ran through the snow for about a half a mile, before making it to pavement.  I ran through my brother's hilly neighborhood and felt pretty good, trying to enjoy the landscape.  It was cold and I did manage to step in slush on more than a few occasions.

I stayed at my parent's house last night, and woke up to snow on the ground for the 2nd day in a row. Neeedless to say, I was not expecting the weather.  I got myself out there, but did have to be cautious as there was black ice.  Since I had to get my dad this morning to an appointment and due to the streets, I cut my run from 8 to 6 miles.  It was hard to get into a groove.

I was able to sleep in a little bit, but still had to get up.  It was nice not to be running in snow after the past couple of runs in N.Y.  I made sure that I got my full 8 miles in.

This was the first morning that I have truly slept in since my vacation started.  It was so nice to rest and then just go for a 4 mile run.

I had a really nice run from our home this morning.  I was able to get out as the sun was rising. It was cold, but not freezing.  My music kept me company throughout.

Today was my first day back at the gym with school restarting.  I didn't feel too tired this morning, which was a nice change.
