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

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.

Total Distance
6.21

First innagural Northlake 5K/10K!

I have been fighting a cold all week - cough, sore throat, not a ton of energy.  But even with this, I was able to run this race pretty well.  My Garmin and the race course didn't match up exactly.  At the end of my race my Garmin said I had only run 5.98 miles so my split times were off from what the race said I ran this in.  The race said I ran this race at an 8:08 pace, but my Garmin said my avg. was 8:19.  Here is my Garmin's splits:

8:27, 8:25, 8:11, 8:21, 8:22, 8:18.

I would like to get this down to an 8:15 AVG on my Garmin.  I would like to run my Half at an 8:20 pace.

The weather was humid, but cloudy and in the low 70's, so not having the sun beating down on us was nice because we didn't start running until 8:30am.
