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.

Total Distance

5.50

5.5 miles around Herriman this afternoon. It is SO warm today! I loved being out there without feeling covered head to toe in Underarmor! Hooray for SPRING!!! There were so many people out running today. I've decided that I love runners. They are always so friendly and positive. It is very rare that you pass a runner that doesn't at least wave hello. Must be those endorphins!

I am happy to report that I am feeling much better since I've been on antibiotics and I'm hoping that March will be a good month. No sicknesses this month...PLEASE!!! I really want a PR for the Salt Lake half!

Here are my splits from today:

1 - 8:48; 2 - 9:09, 3 - 9:15; 4 - 9:29; 5 - 10:05; last .5 mile - 9:58 (can you tell I live at the top of a hill...oh well, hopefully it will make me stronger at the end of my races with some practice)

yeah...your hill is BRUTAL! Hard to hit a negative split on the way home.

SO glad you're feeling better and I hope you have no sickness as well (kids AND mom!) I'm sure you'll PR SLC 1/2, because the course is enough downhill that you couldn't help but PR even if you hadn't improved (which isn't true!).

I have been a bad blogger and not checked up on you for a bit! I am sorry that illness once again hit your family and that it got you this time!!! Glad you are feeling better though.

I love this time of year when it starts to warm up, spring and fall are the best for nice afternoon running. Herriman has SO many runners, it is fun to see them and it does not matter what time of day you go----they are everywhere. And I have to agree, runners are so friendly.

Don't stress over a PR, stay healthy and it is in the bag for you! You will be so much better trained and have more miles under your belt. PLUS, it is just plain a better race! I know it will be a HUGE PR!

So glad you are feeling better! Just found out that I have a stress fracture. Don't think I will be running SLC half. I am so frustrated. If you know anyone who wants to run it they can have my number.

Good luck with your training! :)

Way to go sis. I'll have to start recording my splits as well.
