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.

My run was not the best, but I finished.  My legs didn't feel that tired, but I felt slow and my time reflected my feelings.  I left the music at home and just became one with my thoughts.

Today's run was a bit odd as I ran the first 6.1 at the gym and then the final two from home as my husband was ready to leave the gym.  My legs did not appreciate the gap in time between miles, but I perservered and made it through.

WALKING MILES.  I decided to enjoy the weather and go for a four-mile walk to get the day started.  It was just me, the music and the scenery.

After a good nights' sleep and the walking of the dogs, I made my way to the gym.  It was a bit rough getting started, but once I got going, I was good to go.  As usual, now that it is warm outside, the gym is warm inside.

I ran from home this morning so that I could get an early start before my mother-in-law came in to town.  Unfortunately, my legs were so sore from a class that I took on Thursday.  My understanding was that the class was to focus on the upper body and core.  I knew something wasn't right as the first part had me doing a bunch of squats and lunges.  It is not that I minded the workout itself, but I didn't want sore legs, which is what I got.  I also ended up with the chafed arm as I did not put enough body glide on my arm from my armband.
