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.

Ran for 4.3 miles this morning.  Landon woke up right in the middle so I had to feed him for about 15 minutes before I could finish the last 2.3 miles.  That was kind of a bummer since I wanted to go straight through but I felt really good all through it all.

Speed: 8:34 for first mile          8:27 for last 3 miles

Average Heart Rate: 137 (I did have to restart up again after nursing)

Stayed away from sweets so far this week.  Feeling good.  Good thing cherries and blueberries are in season!

Felt great this morning.  Started off running at 8:34 but it felt so slow.  Bumped it up to a 8:27 pace but even that was feeling too easy so bumped it up once more to a 8:20 and that felt great.  I did only run for 3.1 since I'm going for a longer run tomorrow.  No interruptions and strong finish.

Avg Heart Rate: 159

Up a little after 5:30 to run my longer run for the week - 5.5 miles.  Started at a 8:40 pace and by the last two miles I was down to 8:20.  I felt good at the end - I think I was just getting bored and SO hot and stuffy in my garage.  (Didn't have the fan this morning and GA even at 6am is to dealthy humid.)

Avg HR: 147

Max HR: 174

Interesting how your mind works.  If you tell yourself you're only going to run so far then that's all your body will allow.  I need to tell my body I can run 6.5 miles when I'm only planning on 5.5 and I have a feeling that will make pushing it through the end much better.

No babies waking up!  Successful run.
