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

10.00

My brother came down to visit from Logan so we ran together this morning around Herriman. He's also running the SL half and told me before our run that he thought he'd be able to run at about a 10:30 pace. I wasn't opposed b/c I didn't know what would happen with my knee. Our first 5-6 miles were in the low to mid 9:00min pace. He did great! At around mile 9 my knee really started to hurt so we decided to walk/jog the rest of the way back. Our goal was to run 10 miles, so overall we both felt pretty good.

I've been taking Ibuprofen on and off all weekend for my knee and have tried to stretch as much as I can. I think I might have to finish out my training on the darn treadmill b/c yesterday's run was not fun. I hope it won't bother me too much during the race in a few weeks!

GREAT run! I'm SO sorry your ITB was buggin' you - ugghh!! I feel your pain and cringe when I read it was bothering you!! Do you have a foam roller or a swim noodle? If you roll on it on your side (from the hip ALL the way down to the knee) it will really help as well! It is a little awkward and crazy to do, but it will help roll out that tightness. ESPECIALLY after a run where it bothers you.

Good luck! I am also running SLC 1/2 and if you'd like I'd be happy to drive/carpool with you. Let me know! You will have to wait for me to finish at the end though :)
