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.

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.

Started off strong all through mile 9 felt great.  Starting around mile 10 I could feel myself mentally saying, "Push this Heather."  I went strong another mile, but the last two miles were mentally rough.  I'd never "Hit the Wall" before but I could feel it coming close.  My 1/2 mile paces were...

1:  8:55 and 8:48

2:  8:47 and 8:54

3:   9:00 and 8:41

4:  8:48 and 8:30

5: 8:30 and 8:30

6:  8:11 and 8:24

7:  8:29 and 8:24

8:  7:59 and 8:12

9:  8:11 and 8:17

10: 8:36 and 8:29

11: 8:11 and 8:06

12: 7:59 and 8:00

13: 7:53 and 8:12

I finished at 1:49:26 with a 8:21 min/mile average.  I was 98th overall and the 28th female finisher.  I was 10th in my female age group.
