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 finally got moving again today.  It took me a few days to get physically and mentally (more this than the other) ready to go.  I told myself that since this was my first day back that I would walk if I felt like it.  I did so for the first couple of miles and then decided that it was time to start running.  I kept it very slow, because I just want to take my time getting back into the swing of things.

 My plan is to run tomorrow with friends.  As far as the distance goes,  I will see what the others are planning and then see what my body feels like doing.

I was back out running with the group this morning.  It was cold and became rainy.  It was nice to be out there, running with friends and not concerning myself about pace or distance.  I realized once I got out there that I left my watch at home and wasn't bothered by it.  We seemed to run all over the place and when all was said and done we completed 7 miles.  I felt fine, which is a nice way to feel one week post marathon.
