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 and walking my dogs with my husband, I was able to head out for my run.  The temperature was quite mild after a day of rain yesterday.  I felt alright finishing in an adequate time.

After getting myself up out of bed, I walked the dogs and went for my run.  The temperature was mild, which helped with the run as I averaged about 10:31 per mile.

I decided to run outside this morning after sleeping in and walking the dogs.  I was able to get out there before the rain started.  Thankfully, even the though it is humid, the temperature was still in the low 70's.  I was able to once again maintain just over a 10:30 minutes/ mile.

I decided to get myself up by 6:30 am so that I could meet a friend after my run.  My legs felt sluggish especially during the first couple of miles.  I fought my way through it and finished.

My running buddy and I met for what turned out to be a running/ therapy session.  It was much needed for her and I was glad to be able to be there.  We ran the first 8 miles and then walked the last 3.
