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.

Tired Run.  2 min WU, 6 mile run on tired legs giving best effort, 2 min CD.

I was exhausted this morning.  My period should have started yesterday.  My legs felt like they were dragging.  Exhausted just no energy, not necessarily tired.

9:24 WU, 8:25, 8:22, 8:32, 8:13, 8:21, 7:46, 8:03 CD

TOTAL: 53:38 at an 8:16 (8:18 with WU and CD).  I stopped for a few minutes to say hi to the cows before my last mile and a half.  It also started raining my last 1/2 mile.  That felt glorious.

Treadmill.  It is so hot right now in the mornings.  SPEED REPEATS.  1 mile WU, 3 min fast (I forget what speed she wanted me at), 3 min recovery, 1 mile CD.

7:47 WU

7:30, 7:11

7:14, 7:21

7:24, 7:25

7:16, 7:11

7:25, 7:27

7:31, 7:22

7:22 CD

TOTAL: 53:43 at a 7:25 pace.  I don't believe these times which is frustrating.  This run felt really good though.  I think it's true that running on a treadmill is easier because it helps my momentum (doing it for me) and it's air conditioned!

This run was hot and sweaty but I felt strong and it felt good.

Run 10 miles with a 2 min WU and CD.  Outside.

10:06 WU, 8:45, 8:51, 8:39, 8:31, 8:32, 8:29, 8:30, 8:41, 9:26, 9:35, 9:02 CD

TOTAL: 1:34:41 at an 8:49 AVG including WU and CD.

The first 5 miles felt so good and strong.  I've learned though that right now with how hot it is, around mile 8 I get very dehydrated.  That's also right around the 1 hour mark.  I need to try a little gel and/or water right at that time.  I think that will make a big difference.
