| Member Since: May 31, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Half Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: I started running in January 2007 b/c my Dad and I decided to run the 5K in the Sunburst. So off I started running, okay so more like walking, I couldn't even run a mile straight at first! But I ran it in 32 minutes.
Then I decided to go for a Mini. I know, what a jump! So in January 2008 I started training for the Indy Mini. I'm proud to say I did it! I ran it in 2:34:04. My goal was to run the whole thing and I did. (5.3.08)
5.31.08 Sunburst (South Bend, IN) Ran my best yet! 1:03:23, and 10:13 pace, which beat my Indy Mini pace by 1:33 :) Short-Term Running Goals: I want to improve speed. Yeah, that about sums it all up! I will do the Mini faster next year, no ifs, ands, or buts. Long-Term Running Goals: I want to always be a runner. That is my long term goal right now. I love being in races and seeing people in their 70's running. What an inspiration! Personal: I'm married to an AMAZING husband, Patrick, who supports and encourages my running. I have two kids, Gavin (4) and Samantha (2). They are what my life is all about. I love to sing and do anything with music. I love wheelin' in our Jeep. I am a Tastefully Simple consultant.

Sunburst (6.2 Miles) 01:03:23 | |
I am super excited about my results for the 10K!!! This is by far the best I have ever ever ran! My pace was 10:13. My pace for the Indy Mini was 11:46. I am shocked at that jump. I didn't even train nearly the way I did for the Mini, I honestly slacked on running since May 3rd. It does intimidate me a bit, b/c I'm worried about being to run at least this pace if not more all the time. | |

Today was a gorgeous day for a morning run!! I must say, running with Sami in the jogging stroller for 4 miles is way harder than running a 10K :)
I love being able to start running in the mornings while Gavin is in a.m. preschool. There was no doing speed drills with a 23.5 pounder in front of me!!
I am going to start doing weights tomorrow, if anyone has advice on what is good to do with 3,5,and 8 pound weights, please let me know! | |
| | Did some weights and abs today. I'm kind of at a loss on what to do, I was trying to go back in my head of what I use to do when I went to a gym to work out. Hopefully it keeps getting better! |
| | MUGGY!!! But glad I got out there in the morning so I could face the rest of the day! |
| | Went on a 4 mile bike ride with Sami behind me :) |
