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 finally got myself back to the gym this morning for my run.  I felt alright, but chose not to worry about my pace, running a bit slower than usual.

I was able to get a nice early morning run in today.  It was cold, with temperatures in the mid 30's, but I was dressed properly.  I felt good the whole time, averaging 10:31 per mile as my music kept me company.

I slept in this morning, but did not have the best run in the world as my legs were tired.  I was fine otherwise, and was happy to be able to get it in.

I ran outside this morning so that I could get to work a bit earlier.  My phone said that the rain scheduled would be later in the day.  Of course, when I stepped outside it was misting and then by mile 7 it started raining.  Outside of me bringing my iPod, I was fine with it.  The temperatures were mild, which made it comfortable.

Since I am heading out of town early tomorrow morning, I chose to run today instead.   I was woken up early by one of my dogs and couldn't fall back to sleep, therefore I chose to get up and run.  It worked out well as I was able to get my miles in and get to work with some time to get some stuff done.  My pace was also good, which is rare when I run from home in my neighborhood.

This was my first of two runs while visiting my family in N.Y.  I was a bit concerned about the cold and time, therefore I chose to run 7 miles instead of 8.  I wound up running really well, which I was very happy about.  I also got myself home in time to bake a really good cake, which I was bringing over to a family get-together.

Since I had plans with my father this morning,  I got myself up a bit early and went for my run.  It was cold, but I was dressed for it.  I brought my music to keep me company.

Due to the rain that doesn't seem to want to end, I ran at the gym this morning.  I wound up having a pretty good morning.  I guess the sleep helped.

I decided to go for a short run this morning.  I originally thought that I would be making up mileage from earlier in the week (only one as it turns out).  I then realized that I should run a couple of more as there was a tasty cupcake sitting on my kitchen counter.

I got myself up early this morning to get my run in and still be able to have breakfast with my dad and go shopping.  My time was slower than I would have liked, but I felt fine, enjoying my music along the way.

I slept in, walked the dogs and then went for my run.  I cut it a mile short as I was running slow and needed to get home to my dad who has been visiting us the past week.

I ran six miles outside today as I wanted to get my run in prior to taking my dad to the airport. I felt fine even though my pace was slow.

I ran at the gym ths morning as it was pouring outside.  It took me awhile to get in a groove, although my legs felt fine the whole time.  Mentally, I was not all there.
