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.

Progression Run.  I was on the treadmill and again, my watch and the treadmill are not in sync.  For the 30 minute run I was around an 8:34 and for the 10 min run the treadmil said 7:25ish even though my watch was saying above 8 minutes.  Very frustrating.  I could feel that I was pushing harder, that I was sub 8.  I do not love this treadmill location because my watch does not pick up good.

5 min WU, Run 30 min (9:14-10:14), Run 10 min (7:14-7:34) - challenging, no sprinting, 5 min CD.

9:51 WU

8:38, 8:46, 8:27, 8:54 (.46 miles) - 30 min run

8:16, 8:23 (.21 miles) - 10 min run... was for sure sub 8:00

TOTAL: 8:34 AVG for 50 minutes

Long Easy Run.  120 minutes.

5 min WU, Run 1hr 35 min (9:14-10:14), Run 15 min if feeling good same pace, 5 min CD.

I did not feel good mentally for this run so this was the first time that I did not do the additional optional run.  I could have made it to 13 miles if I would have been in a better place mentally.  First, I was on the treadmill because it was 15 degrees outside.  Second, I was having a complete mental breakdown from this move and things between Colby and I.  I actually stopped twice to cry and walk around for a little bit.  I probably should have saved this run for next weekend.

I walked my WU and CD.

16:37 WU

8:57, 9:18, 8:37, 8:34, 8:39, 8:43, 9:09, 8:39, 8:41, 8:58, 8:40

15:50 CD

TOTAL: 1:45:28 at an 8:50 pace (not including WU and CD).
