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.

I didn't get out the door until 9:00am, which meant it was warm out.  Mentally, my mind is still elsewhere, but I did perservere.  The first few miles were not pretty, but I did feel a bit stronger the 2nd half of the run.  I ran without music today, just me and my thoughts.

My original plan was to run at the gym, but I chose to run outside instead as the skies were somewhat overcast.  Unfortunately, after about 30 minutes, the sun burned off the clouds, making feel quite warm.  Thankfully, there was a bit of a breeze, which helped.  The run itself was okay, starting out slowly and picking up the pace the last few miles.

WALKING MILES!!!  It was nice to walk today as my legs are a bit tired from running the past few days.

I decided to run outside when I probably should have gone to the gym.  The temperature didn't feel that bad, but the sun warmed things up very quickly.  I brought my music with me to keep me company, which helped, althought the last mile was a bit rough.  I am wondering if I was a bit dehydrated as I feel better now that I have had a bit of food and water.

WALKING MILES!!  Since today is not a running day for me, I chose to grab my music and go for a walk.  The weather was actually somewhat pleasant as it was overcast this morning,

8 Miles Running and 5 Miles WALKING.  I ran the first 8 miles, 4 of which were with a friend of mine that I ran into in the parking lot where I started.  I then walked 5 miles with a friend that I was actually meeting there.
