Gender:

Female

Goal Type:

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.

Last night I read something that said runners should strike on the ball of the foot, not the heal, so I started out this morning trying to do that.  It felt great!  I felt so fast.  I ran one mile using the ball-strike method, and then walked one mile.  I feel great.  It took me 30 minutes to do both miles.

Mostly walked.  Ran some at a pace of 10 min/ mile.  Ran some at a pace of 8:34 min/ mile.  The first leg at a fast pace was hard, but the other two were much easier.  I ran .25 at 8:34 pace and felt great.  I'm looking forward to running with Aaron and Nan and Ashley--I picked Ashley as a potential race partner because I feel confident that with practice and training, I can learn to run as fast as her, but Nan is another set of standards altogether!
