Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

The start of the new year means back to work. It seems that most of my "New Years Resolutions" are focused around running- mostly times this year. I am excited to see what the year holds for me.

Today I went to the gym and ran some short intervals, 8x200m at 5:00 pace with 200m jog inbetween. 4 miles total. Afterwards did 15 mins easy on the elliptical.

Today I ran in my new hot pink running skirt and loved it! I may be converted over to skirts.

Today's workout was on my home treadmill. After a 1.5 mile warm-up, I planned to run 5 miles at 7:00 pace. After the first mile I felt pretty good so I increased the pace. When I got to 5 miles I still felt good so I decided to make it a 10k. Ran the last mile in 5:50 and finished 6.2 miles in 40:50. I was surprised how well I felt and that makes me excited! I hope to take off 3 minutes off that pace this year. I have never really focused on the 10k, so I have some room for improvement in the PR area. Today was a good bench mark to see where I am at. 

Although a good run, it came at a high price. The last few minutes of my workout, my 21 month old pushed over the barrier I created to barricade the treadmill and he went flying. He has two large bloody goose eggs on each side of his forehead:( Did I mention I stepped on him and didn't get a scratch on me? Waaaaahhhh!!!
