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.

It was so nice to get up and run this morning.  I was able to get out of the house  this morning by around 8:30.  It was cold, but I had my music and just tried to enjoy the run.  I maintained about a 10:29 pace for the last few miles, which I was happy about.

My husband and I slept in and then went to the gym.  This run felt very slow for the first 3 miles, but fortunately did pick up.  It may have also felt faster since I increase the pace at every mile.

I was able to get up and out the door by 7:30am. It was cold, but sunny.  My nose ran about as much as I did.  I felt very slow, therefore, I was happy to just to make it through.

I thought that I was going to be able to get out of the house sooner than I did, but c'est la vie!  My husband and I went to the gym where I was able to get 6 miles in on the treadmill.  I started a tad faster than normal (but that is not saying much).  I finished at the same pace that I always do.  I felt fine.

I went to the gym this morning with my husband, but did not run.  I pumped up with him.  My guess is that I may regret it in the morning as he had me weight train my legs.  We will soon find out how I feel.

After a lousy nights' sleep, I was actually happy to get up. I met a couple members of my group to get in 2-3 extra miles before the rest showed up.  I am glad that I did, because they wound up running less miles than I anticipated.  I got a total of 11 miles in, which I was happy about.  Once again, I love starting the weekend with a nice, long run.
