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. Favorite Blogs: |

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while. I promise, I have been working out though! I just haven't had the time to get on the computer.
Monday, my family was still visiting my in-laws in central Utah. So, I headed outside again. My training plan only had me run 2 miles, but I wanted to make it challenging to I chose a hilly course. Since I've done about 80% of my training on a TM at only a 1.0% incline, I've never realized just how hard hills are! There were times I felt like I was crawling up those hills! Kind of discouraging. I need to get outside more.
Overall it was fun though. No stinky cow smell this time :) |

| | I was supposed to do P90X "Plyo" today, but I woke up with a bad migrane and it just never went away. Hopefully, I'll wake up feeling better so I can get some miles in. |

I took advantage of my kids napping at the same time today and hopped on the treadmill. First mile warmup, AP 9:45. Mile 2, AP 8:35. Half-mile jog/cooldown, AP 9:30. Mile 2.5-3.5, AP 8:35. Last mile & 1/2 cooldown, AP 9:30.
I'm starting to feel more and more comfortable going faster. It's still difficult and I couldn't carry on a conversation while at a pace of 8:30ish, but it IS getting easier! |

| | I woke up early before my kids so I could get my run in. Since my husband had to leave for work early, again I was confined to the TM. It was snowing outside, so I didn't complain to much :) However, after about 2.5 miles, my Ipod died and I found myself struggling to stay motivated. It's kind of sad that my own thoughts couldn't keep me occupied, but staring at the wall was getting kind of boring. So I quit at 3 miles, when I was supposed to run 6. I did complete a "Jillian Michaels" aerobics DVD afterwards, but I still felt like such a quitter!!! Lets face it, after my Ipod is charged and my kids go to bed, I'll probably run another 3 so that my self esteem isn't so low! |
