Half Marathon Finish

Running Accomplishments:

Maybe someday I'll have something noteworthy to post in this section. I have only completed three 5ks and a 5 miler; all at an average pace somewhere in the 9:00-9:30min/mile range

Painter's Half 2010 - 2:03:54 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Painter's Half Marathon - would like to keep an average pace of 9:00min/mile. 

Painter's Half - Went over my goal and finished in 2:03:54 :( It was my first half though.  I had a great time and learned what I need to work on.  

Salt Lake Half Marathon - would like to finish in under 2 hours. 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Would like to complete a full marathon in the fall of 2010 and finally conquer the Herriman Hill...to be honest, there are several hills in Herriman I'd love to conquer, but that one for sure!

Personal:

I am a stay-at-home mother, married and have two young boys.

3.0 easy TM miles tonight. First mile at 10:00 pace, mile 2 at 9:30, mile 3 at 9:05.  

P90X "Chest & Back" and "Ab Ripper" workouts.  

I'm still not feeling 100%, but at least my fever is gone. I'm really hoping our family gets a break for a while and will be healthy for at least a month!

I was happy to see that I lost 4 lbs while being sick. I'm sure once I'm able to taste food again, it will all come right back though :)

Way to go on the half marathon. I ran it too. I will be running the SLC half as well. Good luck with your goal. Maybe we will "run" into each other. We have the same pace goals.

Do you find it hard to do P90X and train? I feel so heavy after a P90x workout and then try to run.

That would be great to "run" into a fellow blogger at the SLC half! I thought that just about everyone I know on here is going to Boston that weekend.

Yes, running after P90X is difficult sometimes. I enjoy running somewhat more than lifting weights, but I find that I get flabby/flabbier if I don't do both. It's getting pretty time consuming so hopefully I'll be able to keep up with both!

What is your workout routine like? I see that you are training for a marathon in June. That's amazing! I still don't know if that is a goal I could reach...maybe one day when I'm done having babies :)

I never thought I would run a marathon, but I did it and wanted to do better. So I ran a second one and in the middle of training I found out I was prego. I went for it only to have to bail at mile 19. Not good! I'm only running the same marathon to finish it and then I don't think I will do it again. Too much training.

I have just started my training so my miles are low. I think I am going to put P90X on hold until i'm done with training and do not so involved weights. I have the flabby problem too. Those babies take a lot out of us.
