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.

8:32 CD (1.76 miles)

This run was A MESS!  I ran the first 22 minutes but felt so weak and shaky that I had to go home and eat a big breakfasat and lay on the couch for two hours.  Then I felt good enough to get up and finish the last 40+ minutes.  But you can see there was one of the 30 second intervals that got messed up.  My body is feeling shot.  My muscles feel so tired.  I've been either running or lifting weights and yoga 6 days a week the last two weeks and I think I need a day or two to recoop.

TOTAL: 1:02:30 at an 8:33 AVG (8:21 not including WU and CD)

I'm taking Shalene's advice and using these recovery runs to slow down, be grateful for my health, and really enjoy the run.
