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 sleeping in, I went out for my run.  It was not warm and drizzling.  By the time I hit my 3rd mile or so, the rain came down harder and it was not warming up.  Everytime I ran further from the house, it rained harder.  I beleive that it was sign, but I continued to ignore it until the end.  I decided to finally end things a little over 9 miles, since my legs were quite cold and wet. I don't regret it, unless I get sick sometime this week.  If that happens, then going to th gym would have been a better option.

I ran a double today, running the first five at the gym and the second five from home.  My legs felt dead for the second run, but I was able to run a short sleeve shirt and shorts, which was awesome.

I was able to get five miles in today, but the first 1.2 were on the elliptical as every treadmill in the gym was not working when I got there.  Thankfully, one of the guys that worked there figured out that the power had been turned off and waived me over.  My legs felt like jello for the 1st mile on the treadmill, but I didn't care as it was much better than the elliptical.

Since I am traveling to NY today, I had to get up early and get my run in around the neighborhood.  It was cold, but not bad and I had the opportunity to slowly see the sky light up as dawn approached.
