Goal Type:

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.

My car accident left me with a bad case of whip lash and a seat belt burn across my collar bone.  Tonight, I'm finally starting to feel like I can move my head from side to side without wanting to cry, so the plan is to start back at running tomorrow morning.  Wish me luck!

I'm signed up for the Salt Lake half and now the Wasatch Back and am considering doing the Riverton Half if I can talk my husband into it...running races is expensive! But SO fun!

6.0 miles this smoggy afternoon.  I'm starting to feel much better from my car accident almost a week ago, so I'm happy to be running again!

Today I tried to incorporate some hills into my run...when oh when do they ever get easy?! Here are my splits:

AP: 9:08

Mile 1: 7:54; Mile 2: 8:48; Mile 3: 9:35; Mile 4: 9:22; Mile 5: 9:06, Mile 6: 10:22 (at this point I'm thinking, "why did I chose to live at the top of a hill that is a mile long?"

5.5 miles on the TM tonight.

Mile 1: 10:00min/mile; Mile 2: 9:30; Mile 3: 9:00; Mile 4: 8:30; Mile 5: 8:00; Last .5 mile: 9:30 cooldown.

I really like this song I found on Itunes the other day, "Marchin On" by Timbaland featuring One Republic. It's got a good message and beat. Check it out if you get a minute.

I'm also preparing to begin another round of P90X on Monday. I'm actually planning on trying to follow the nutrition plan along with it this time. The last time I tried P90X, I followed the nutrition plan for about a week, but continued the workouts for about 7 weeks. I defnitely saw results, but I know if I was more careful about what I ate, I'd see a bigger difference. So, hopefully that doesn't mean I will pig out tomorrow! Wish me luck!

Oh, one more random thought/question. Does anyone know of any good running books they'd like to recommend? Thanks!
