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!!!

What a change in weather today! I believe it was almost 55F yesterday and today high of 27F but with the wind they say it feels like 10F.... Hey on a positive look at least its sunny.....  Well, I ran alone today. I missed yesterday because of work. So that was my day of rest and I ran today. I ran mounds hill which is a 4mile route out and back. It took me 30:37 and it was an ok run just glad it was sunny! I had the wind on my back on the way out but on the way back oh my!!! that wind just sucks the life out of you! I know suck it up J!!! I am running a Half tomorrow for my February race... It's just a long run!!! 

 keep moving!

What a great race for me... It was kinda cold with the temp at 10F but at least it was sunny. I met a guy Dan while running and we paced each other. It sure helped running with Dan, he pushed me to keep up the pace and relax. So Thanks Dan! This is a PR for me too 1:40:10, I am very happy... I hope that I can keep this up!

 Keep running!
