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.

Since I was catching my flight back to Georgia this morning, I got myself up early to run before having breakfast with my parents and heading to the airport.  I ran the same route as I did yesterday, but turned around after 3 miles.  It was a bit milder than yesterday, although there was a threat of rain the entire time.  I maintained a nice pace the entire time.

After  some much needed rest, I was back running from home.  It felt good to be back.

Of course, today was my final run for 2013.  It was a tad slow, but alright.

This was my last morning to sleep in before going back to work.  It was very blah outside with a bit of mist falling.  It was about 9:00am when I got outside, which of course is when our chances of rain was to hit 100%. The forecasters were correct as it rained on me the majority of time that I was out there.  Thankfully, it was never too hard.  Dressing properly also helped keep me dry for the most part.

It was our coldest run of the season as the temperatures were in the low to mid-20's.  I was dressed properly, but had issues with a few fingers going numb and hurting.  I made sure to go indoors a couple of times to thaw my fingers out.  Watch also stopped working just after mile 6.
