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.

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.

It was cold this morning, therefore our late start getting up was a good thing.  I had the layers on, which was needed as the temperatures were in the low 30's, thankfully the sun was out.  I averaged about 12 minute miles, which given my time off, I was happy.  I definitely mixed the running and walking, especially on the hills.  This was a nice way to kick off my week of running.

I woke up feeling pretty good this morning.  By the time I actually got up, I realized that it was wet and cold outside and would take myself to the gym.  Unfortunately, by the time we got there, I wasn't feeling as great as when I first woke up.  I got in 4 miles and was happy about it.  I allowed myself to take a walk break about every  1/2 a mile.  Once again, I am just happy to be back running that I don't mind any walk breaks that I feel are necessary.

I started out running this morning, but unfortunately, had some unexpected pain/ cramping.  By the time I finished my 2nd mile, I knew that I was better off just walking.  I finished under an hour, which was fine considering.

It was cold this morning with temperatures in the mid-20's.  I ran with my friend and her daughter for the first 4 miles (her 18 year old daughter kept me going during miles 3 and 4).  After they left, I grabbed my music and went back the same way (forgot my watch at home so I wanted to go where I knew the mileage).  I felt a bit tired and realized that it may have had something to do with the first 4 miles.  I have been taking walk breaks during each mile for the last week, and didn't do so to start.  I made up for it while I was on my own, but overall, did run the majority of the time.
