Boston Qualifier

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, did not run Sunday or Monday... Sunday was rest day but Monday ended up being so busy working on my car! So I was glad to get out today even if it was pretty cold. We ran Mounds Hill 4 mile route today with Jessica, Bridget, Shawn, Amanda, and Josh. It was Sunny and about 5F out when we ran. It took us about 36:12 to run it today... Stil filling sluggish and very slow. I am going to try and get more hill work in starting now.

One Stride at a time!

Well, with the windchill today it was about -18 below but I did not let it stop us from running. We ran Swede Hallow and then over and around the capital. That wind was brutal in some parts but with the sun out it sure made it better.... It was a nice run thanks Amanda and Bridget for joining me and showing Mr Cold that he has nothing on us..... We rock, way to go!!! 

It took us 41:30 to run this route....

 take that Cold air.....

Well, it was about 1F or so at 10am when Casey and I ran my St. Paul hill run. There was 6 good sized hills... It was a sunny day, the breeze was a little brutal in spots but it was overall pretty good! It took us 2:08:22 to run my crazy route. I think Casey did awesome with all the hills and the cold.... Thanks Casey for running with me, it made it much more enjoyable. 

Here's to a good week of running! Now time for a beer....
