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.

Today I cross-trained by completing P90X "Shoulders and Arms". I also completed "Ab Ripper". I'm finally getting to the point where my abs are strong enough to do the more difficult exercises in that workout. I could barely get through the first 3 exercises the first time I tried it. Hopefully it will help lead to a better running posture!

Nice job on the miles yesterday and p90X isn't for whimps - I'm afraid of it! The stronger muscles will really help with running, you'd be surprised!

I sure hope so, b/c it's tough stuff! I feel like P90X is helping me "muscularly" but I still feel week cardiovascularly. Some days I feel like my legs could go forever but my heart and lungs get tired a lot faster. Does it eventually get easier?

YES, it does!! Just stick with it! Some days you are just tired no matter what, but it seems the farther I run, the more in a rhythm, I get and the easier the breathing comes. I am sure you are fine----come hang out with us and here us breathe!!!

A lot of the ab ripper hurts my back, so you are way tougher than me!!!
