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.

Total Distance
7.00

I wasn't brave enough to run outside in the snow/rain so I ran 7.0 on the TM at an AP of 8:35.  I kept getting side cramps in the first few miles so I started out a little slower than I'd like, but I think I made up for it toward the end.  My knees really started to hurt around mile 5 so hopefully resting on Sunday will prevent any injury from occurring.  

I'm excited for better weather this week!!!

I also need some advice on which races to run.  I've been invited to run the Wasatch Back with some women in my neighborhood, but I will be in a car with no one I know.  I've heard from a lot of people that it's a lot of fun, but I'm not sure if it will be worth it.  Also, if I run Wasatch Back, that will max out my racing budget for the whole year.  I may be able to do one other 5k or something, depending on how much it is.  I heard that South Jordan is holding a half marathon in July, I think it's the first year they are doing it, and I really would like to do that one. Any suggestions????

NICE pace and miles!

I've only run WBR once last year. I have to say that it's only fun if you KNOW the other runners in your van. To me, it's like a slumber party with some running thrown in. I think it's way too expensive. The no sleep and can't eat was the hardest part. That's my 2 cents.
