Running Accomplishments:

I have only run 2 marathon's in my life.... Grandma's in 2002 and Twin Cities in 2008. I just finished nothing spectacular.... This last year I got the running bug so here we are.... Let's see what happens!

Short-Term Running Goals:

I told myself that I was not going to run anymore Marathon's until I am 50.... Well, that didn't work! I have been talked into signing up for 35th running of Grandma's Marathon on June 18th, 2011... I have had running friends who have qualified for Boston and it has inspired me to see if I could qualify. So I guess we will see how it goes... Wish me luck.....

Long-Term Running Goals:

OK!! Maybe Boston should be my Long-term goal..... hmmm?

Personal:

I am happily Married, with a big dog and no children yet!!!

Well, I got talked into running at Noon today and ran about 5 miles in about 46:12 and I haven't looked up that pace but it don't matter. I am just glad to get outside to run when it was snowing... I love running when the snow is falling it is so beautiful. There was a bunch of us at noon too! Amanda, Jessica, Bridget, Chad, Laurie, plus Bob and Cathy I think. We have some new people running with us during the day. So I am glad have more people to run with. I do like to have options and different paces are good.

Now tonight I went and ran with the run group from Running Room at 6pm. We ran about 6 mile route I believe or so. It took us about 56 minutes to run Lake Calhoun and Isle. I ran with Milton, Bunda, Seph, Madeline and Brian. It was actually kind of warm I believe it was about 23F and no wind. So really nice out but the path/trail was a little sloppy to get footing though but we worked through it. 

Yeah 11 miles today!! It's a start and I feel pretty good....

One step at time! Goodnight!
