Running Accomplishments:

I am very new to the whole running scene. The first 10k I did was last July 08 in Enterprise. I started running to get in shape and lose weight. since then it's become addicting. The most I have ran is 15 miles. The longest race I have done is a 10 miler. I finished it 1:27.

Short-Term Running Goals:

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

Long-Term Running Goals:

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.

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
