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 finally having a chance to sleep in, I went for my run. The air was still quite cool, but it did warm up as I was out there.  My pace was not as good as it was yesterday, but that is alright.  I am always happy to start my day with a run.

I went to the gym this morning for my run.  I was hoping for 8 miles,but due to work issues and mainly time, I stopped at 7.  I felt good once I warmed up as it was cold outside.

I ran at the gym this morning. I thought that I would only get 7 miles in, but as I was running, I chose to run the 8th mile since I felt good and am constantly sacrificing something for work.  I even took up the incline from 1 to 1 1/2, then 2 from miles 6 to 7 1/2.

With the Athens Half tomorrow, I chose to participate in the Alzheimer's Walk that was taking place.  Donating and participating in this walk is the least that I could do with my mom suffering from this cruel disease.  It was an emotional beginning, but the walk felt good.  My only concern was feeling any possible soreness from the walk, since I haven't walked more than a mile in quite a while.
