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.

Tempo Run on treadmill.  45 minutes.  It was early so very cold and dark.

15 min WU, Run 10 min medium to hard pace (7:34-7:54), another medium to hard run for 5 min if feeling good, 15 min CD.

8:21 WU

7:57, 7:48, 7:50 - this was 15 minute medium to hard pace.  It is so frustrating... when I'm running slower my watch picks me up as running faster and when I'm running faster my watch picks me up slower.  Example: During my WU the treadmill said 8:34ish pace, but my watch had me between 8:00-8:20 the whole time.  Then when I go to run fast I was at a 7:34 pace on the treadmill but my watch had me right around 8:00.  I think I ran this part faster than recorded.

8:27 CD

TOTAL: 8:13 pace for 45 minutes.  Who knows if that is accurate because of the GPS connecting to my watch in an awful part of town.  Those 15 fast minutes got me though.  I was tired after that.

Progression Run 1 hr 35 min.  Treadmill.  Freezing and too early in the morning so I wanted to do it indoors.

5 min WU, Run easy pace 70 min (9:14-10:14), Run 10 min (8:04-8:24), Run 5 min (7:14-7:34), 5 min CD.

8:41 WU

8:06, 8:04, 8:04, 8:03, 8:06, 8:00, 8:04, 8:05, 8:05 (.68 miles)

8:36, 7:50 (.18 miles) - the 10 minute run

7:54 (the 5 min run)

Again, what was frustrating about this run is the treadmill said 8:34 for my 70 min run - 30 seconds slower than my watch, but then for my fast runs the tradmill was in the low 7:00's, but my watch was still at 8:00 or right around.  So for my fast runs my watch says I'm slower but for my slower portions my watch says I'm faster.  Ugh.

TOTAL: According to my watch - 8:08 AVG including it all  (8:06 not including WU/CD) for 1:35:00. This run felt really good.  It was fun watching "A California Christmas: City Lights"
