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.

After a decent night's sleep, I was ready to get up around 7:00am and go for a run.  It was cold, but sunny out.  I listened to some music and just tried to clear my head.  When all was said and done, I finished averaging a 10:29 pace.  Outside of my nose running the entire time, I felt fine.

I was able to sleep in a tad later than normal for a running day.  I went over to the gym and ran 6 miles in just under 59 minutes.  Outside of a slight pain that I felt on the top of my knee, I felt fine.  As of right now, I am assuming that it is nothing to worry about.  After my run, I completed 6 sets of abdominal work.

I was back at the gym this morning after a day off from running yesterday.  I was a bit tired, but felt alright.  I think that I am still running on adrenaline after starting my new teaching gig the other day.

I was back at the gym this morning.  I am finally starting to feel the fatigue from working a lot and not getting enough sleep.  Fortunately, it did not affect my run as it went very well this morning.  I felt good and kept my usual pace.

I was very tired this morning after completing my first week of work.  We took it easy for the most part.  I ran the first 8 1/4 miles with my friend and then completed the last 1 3/4 on my own.
