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!!!

So this race was suppose to be a Half Marathon 13.1 but they messed up on the turn around point and we all turned around a mile or so early. This sucks!! I was on pace to PR too.... Oh Well... I actually did not feel good either.... I had been sick since Thursday and probably should not have run... I am paying for it now!! I feel like crap.. My head feels like it's going to blow up... For being sick I did feel good running... I guess the training runs helped and those hills helped I ran last weekend....  I started off running with Casey and Jessica but they were running a pace way to fast for me... I only stayed with them for the first couple of miles. Though I almost caught Jessica at the end she finished about 20 seconds ahead of me...  I am happy and upset at the same time here... I usually don't stay upset to long so it will be all good!!  

I am overall happy!! its my choice....

 There's another run tomorrow!!!

Just do it!
