Half Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

My personal best running record was when I was 24. I was engaged, but didn't fit in my wedding dress. Running several days per week altered me so that the dress could be worn without being let out.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Run a half-marathon with my sister. (She doesn't know it yet.) I will have to run fast to keep up with that lucky skunk.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Learn to love running. If that happens, then I may want to run a marathon someday.

Personal:

Married. One supportive husband, four beautiful daughters and one busy son.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance

Ran just under .25 on the treadmill at 6:40 pace. It's really fast. I ran two other fast laps, but not nearly as fast as that. I know that I have to build up to speed, but I want to keep trying some laps at the target pace or above so that my legs will know what fast means. No, I don't have a garmin yet. I am sure that once I start taking this routine out on the road I will need one, but for now, I've been measuring my running by laps on the treadmill (it diagrams 1/4 mile laps as you run) or by a known and measured street trail in front of my house. One of the things that I like about trying to go really fast for just one lap is that even though it's hard, the faster I go, the quicker the hard run is over.

So did you give up on the whole running thing?

Here's your wake up call...you can't get off so easy now that you've gone public with your training...we're all watching you! :)

Is that what happens when you go public with your training schedule? Other people actually notice and care whether or not I do it? Thanks for the reminder. I had a discouraging couple of weeks. Did run a little bit, but didn't log them. They are logged in now. Thanks for the reminder.
