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:)

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

6:00AM- Davis with Andy. I ran by minutes today, rather than time. Up and down the Blvd in 70 mins for 9.25 miles/7:36 AP. Despite having 4 hours of sleep, I felt good. I think wearing lighter shoes made the difference.  Each week is feeling less of an effort on this route.

I've started to use Garmin Connect to track my workouts

9:00AM- This morning I ran around Lewis park and added some intervals on the mushy grass, it it began raining during the wu, but stopped by the time I started the workout. The wind picked up, which was difficult on two sections, but I knew grass running combined with wind was not going to give stellar times, so went by effort.perimeter. I was breathing hard for the entire workout, and rarely caught my breath on active rest, but felt good overall - and better than last week. Not necessarily vo2 miles, especially considering time, but the effort was there. Wish there was an option between vo2 miles and threshold. I usually consider tempo miles as threshold or races. Hum.

The first interval included one small uphill and two small downhills, so the last two Intervals, I changed it to have only one up and one down.

11:00AM- It was wonderful to sleep in today. Angie and I had planned to run together this morning, but ended up skipping it becuase the weather wasn't looking good as of last night, so we'll get it in next week. Anyone want to join us?

So I jumped on the TM. I planned to run 10-12 steady, but ended up running out of time before I had to leave somewhere, so I sped up the last 5k in 19:11 (6:10AP) with the last mile in 5:38. The pace actually felt good, but with effort. I found my mind wandering off as the belt took my legs through the motions. This would be difficult time to get on the track for me right now. Plus, I ran at 0% incline.
