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

We travelled to my in-laws for Easter weekend and since they don't have a treadmill, I ran outside. I was nervous about my knee so I made sure to try to run on the opposite side of the road and keep a really slow and steady pace. My average pace ended up being 9:34 on a relatively flat course.

My knee seemed to hurt the worst on each uphill climb I encountered, but wasn't too bad going down, so maybe I'll survive the SL half. I'm really discouraged about my knee. I am still hoping for a sub 2 hour time and hope I can pull it off.

I found out that my grandpa passed away this morning. He was almost 90 years old and has had it pretty rough the past few years, so it's kind of a bittersweet thing. My parents are flying in from Virginia for the funeral. It will be SO great to see them. I haven't seen them in over a year! I hope with everything going on later this week and this weekend with the funeral that I will be able to find the time to get my miles in. Wish me luck!

Sorry to hear about your grandpa, Emily. I know you'll enjoy the visit with your parents though. Take lots of pictures!

Sorry about your grandpa.

SO sorry about your grandpa, even though you know they aren't in pain it still hurts for us not to have them anymore! I hope you get some good family time in with your parents. Maybe a break from running will be good for your ITB.

Nice job on those outside miles, interesting about the uphill...mine usually feels better up and worse down. I certainly hope SLC 1/2 doesn't trash it for you!! I think you'll be able to hit that sub 2 hrs - your conditioning is there, it's just the knee - STINK!
