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.

Total Distance
4.25

I was able to run at 5:45 this morning.  I warmed up for 5 minutes than ran for 4.25 miles between a 8:27 and 8:20 minute mile.  At the end I realized that was too fast.  I need to be around an 8:30 mile for now.  I ended up bruising my big toe under the toenail because I was wearing different running shoes - I won't do that again!  I cooled down for another 5 minutes before stretching.  What I learned from today - slow and steady is how I need to build up to my goal, and stick to the same shoes!
