Running Accomplishments:

I've just run for fun/to get exercise in the past, but recently (I think thanks to Amber Green) I have wanted to become more of a "runner" - with the healthy/active/goal oriented lifestlye.

Short-Term Running Goals:

I would like to run a 10 mile and a half marathon within the next two years.

Long-Term Running Goals:

I am training to run a 10 mile race this October (2015).

Personal:

I'm married to a wonderful man who will also be  my personal coach. We have 4 great kids ages 0-7years.  I love to dance and cook yummy, healhty meals/snacks/treats for my family.

1% incline. I was feeling a little weak today. I was also down a pound from yesterday. I’m trying to go dairy and gluten free so my nutrition is going to take me a little to figure out. But I compete md the run and get like I could have gone longer so that’s good. 

8:34.  8:20 for miles 2 and 3. Then 8:00 for 4-6.

we arrived in Hawaii today. I felt exhausted and so hungry and shaky. I ran on the boardwalk by the beach but it was so crowded. It was good to get up and move after 9 1/2 hours on an airplane.
