I want to run my first marathon this year under 4 hours and within the next two years qualify for boston.

I want to continue to be a lifelong runner to stay healthy and to not get overweight again. I hope to always stay motivated and run many marathons in my lifetime.

Personal:

I've been married for 3 years. No kids yet. I hope to have children soon and figure out a way to manage work, kids, and running. I am very busy with work as a nurse and I'm also in school getting my bachelor's degree.

Ran a new route today with Cherri and Natalie. It was a nice mix up. Good up hill grades. Still slightly discouraged with my running lately. Today I am going to blog all the reasons I run to help me get my mind focusing on the positive:

I run because:

I can

I have the talent

It's time to bond with friends

It gives me a great sense of accomlishment

It helped me lose 20 pounds

I don't have to constantly watch what I eat

Anji pushes me

If Tara on biggest loser can run a marathon in 4:55 then I can too

I want to be healthy

To motivate my husband

It gives me an excuse to go to bed early

I've seen that I've inspired people to run

I enjoy having a hobby.

I want to be extraordinary

I want really sexy legs some day!

Today we ran the "free clinic loop." Today was discouraging. Felt like I was sucking air really bad. Legs felt like lead. To make things worse I was running with 2 girls that had just ran the 1/2 marathon on Saturday while I did the 5k and they were kicking my butt. Running is total mental and I feel like I am in a terrible mind set. I have a lot on my plate coming up and I have to remember why I run and how good it is for me.

Didn't turn my watch on right but prob around a 9 min mile pace
