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.

What a beautiful morning! My wonderful husband let me sleep in AND go for a 9 mile run while he watched our kids! I headed out around 9:30am and originally wanted to do 10 miles, but those darn hills kept slowing me down! I was exhausted by the time I got back to my neighborhood and just didn't have the energy to run all the way up a steep 3/4-mile hill to my house. Maybe next Saturday...

Here are my splits for today: AP 9:16

Mile 1: 7:44 (all downhill), Mile 2: 8:49, Mile 3: 8:35, Mile 4: 9:05, Mile 5: 9:37 (heading back uphill), Mile 6: 9:11, Mile 7: 9:35, Mile 8: 9:46 ("I think I can, I think I can"), Mile 9: 9:48.

Nice job this week!!! You are doing really well, sick kid and no sleep and all!! I think this half marathon is going to be really good (you are still in, right???) Maybe we should go out and run next Saturday??

Happy late Anniversary to you!!!

I'm glad you're starting to feel better. Great run today too! We should have gotten together!

Connor had a bad ear infection and strep throat so we had A LOT of long nights here this week. He seems to be feeling better today though.

YES! I'm definitely on for the half marathon. My husband doesn't have to work next Saturday, so I should be able to go out and run. I'd like to go 10-12 miles so I have some confidence going into the race. What do you think?

Sounds good to me! Just pick a time and a route (or I have a few 10-12 mile routes) and let's go!

SO jealous! Wish I could join both of you! Oh, Emily...I think I drove past you as you were heading up Rose Canyon to home around 10:20 ish. I was driving to the stake center for baptisms. I almost stopped to see if it was you, but I was chicken :) Happy running! You're doing GREAT!!
