Boston Qualifier

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 went walking this morning, which felt really good. It was nice to get outdoors and get moving.

I was happy to have the energy to get up and get to the gym this morning.  I barely got 3 miles in, but it was better than nothing.

I decided to get up and go to the gym this morning.  I am so sick of not feeling like myself and have found that walking makes me feel a bit better, although it is nothing like running.

Today is the first day of my winter break.  It was cold and oh, so windy.  After taking my dogs on a short walk, I decided to get the iPod out and go walking.  It felt good, although it was really windy out there.  I completed 3.1miles and was content.  It took me a bit longer than I hoped, finishing in just over 50 minutes.

It was freezing this morning, but thankfully sunny with a lack of wind.  My fingers hurt for at least 3-4 miles, even with gloves on.  I was hoping for at least 7, but was very happy to complete 8.  I walked the first mile on my own, and then met up with a friend of mine who ran a few miles before I got there.  It would be nice to run, but medically it is still not in my best interest.  Hopefully, I will be back to running soon.  I was hoping that the new medication that I am on would help, but I don't think that it is working like it should be.  I guess this means that I will continue to be a walker until I can do more.
