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 ran from home with my music after sleeping in and walking the dogs with my husband.  I actually had a better than expected run.  I kept reminding myself that I am running the Athens Half in 3 weeks and need to be able to make it up the hills and not look stupid or feel exhausted.  I was able to finish averaging a 9:59 per mile pace, which for me, around my route near my house made me very happy.

I went to the gym this morning for what turned into a good run.  I was able to maintain a nice pace for the duration.

I decided to run outside this morning for a change of scenery.

I went to the gym this morning for my run.  The only problem was that the gym was not quite open when I got there.  I am assuming that the girl who opens overslept as the gym was open by the time my husband arrived.  I turned around soon after arriving at the gym and went home to run outside.  Due to the time wasted driving,  I had to cut a mile of my run. The positive from all of this was that the air was cool with temperatures in the low 60's.

To get ready for my upcoming half-marathon in two weeks, I needed to get in a good, solid 12 mile run.  Thankfully, with my music joining me, I was able to do just that.  The weather was cool and comfortable and I felt good throughout.
