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.

(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.

It was so nice to sleep in this morning.  I worked for a couple of hours before heading out.  I was hoping that I would feel good out there, but it took awhile before I even got into a groove.  My run was alright, but not nearly as good as yesterday's 10-miler.

I decided to run outside so that I could get to work a bit earlier and to enjoy the nice weather.  Unfortunately, I did a lousy job.  I ran my local, close to the house route, which is a bit hilly.  I did not push myself at all, when I should have.  The only positive is that I completed my distance.

I was back at the gym this morning and after battling two treadmills with audio problems, I was finally able to get going.  I was feeling a bit sluggish and iritated for the first couple of miles, but then I was finally able to get into a groove.  I was going to stop after 5 miles, but then reminded myself that I was okay on time and that I deserved to finish my run.

I got my run in this morning at the gym.  I felt decent considering the very long work day I had yesterday.  With my half marathon coming up this Sunday, I adjusted the incline just a bit to get used to hills.  I was a bit tired, but okay.
