Running Accomplishments:

I have been running for a long time...about 14 years to be exact.  I started in 7th grade.  Recently, I just finished my first marathon.  It was the first time in a very long time that running made me feel alive.  It was incredible.  I also realized how sick and tired I was of my mediocre runs.  I can do better.

My time at the St. George Marathon (2008) was 3:51:59.  This was exciting as I caught a glimpse of how much improvement can be made with some extra effort.  When I first started training, my goal was to finish.  Gradually, I realized that I would easily be able to finish.  Visions and daydreams of qualifying for Boston seem to taunt me daily.  I realize that I need to be more serious about tracking my miles and times.  Hence, the running blog.  I am SO excited to learn from others who have more experience!   

Short-Term Running Goals:

Find another marathon to run.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Qualify for the Boston Marathon.

Personal:

Married to the most fabulous man ever for 6 years and now have 2 beautiful/busy little boys (3, 18 months).

Ran 6 miles with Heidi--8:10/mile pace.  Swam 1/2 mile with Anji.  Felt pretty good, but tired :)  Started Weight Watchers last night...hoping that good diet will improve running.
