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!!!

My first run of 2011.... Ran 4 miles in 33:56, which comes to a average pace of 8:29.  The temp out was about 15F but it was sunny. I am running on only about 3 hours of sleep, because I am oncall for work and was up most the night last night.... Funtimes!! Anyway glad I was able to get out and run. Oh, ran Swede Hallow with Jessica, she pushed it to me today I was not feeling it. Thanks Jessica!!!

Here's to the beginning of a new year of running!! Woot!! Woot!!

Just ran a slow 4 mile run with Bridget, John and Josh. It was a sunny 7F out when we ran at 11:30 today.  The trail was good, it looks like they plowed it this morning. The trail was a lot more icy yesterday, so we were loving that part. I took it pretty easy today though, it sure was a chilly day outside. We did this in 37:10 which is ok but pretty slow... I need to pick it up!  Well we will see what tomorrow brings...... 

 Plan to run in the evening tomorrow with the group and the Run Room.... 

 Can't wait!!!

Stay Positive.....

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!
