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.

 I got my booty out the door today and ran 5 miles on the treadmill. I could have done more if I didn't have such horrible ADD. I got so bored, I couldn't stand it any longer so I pushed the pace and finished. Afterwards did 10 mins of climbing on the Arc Glider, but you would believe that I also got bored of that too:) I've got to run outside tomorrow, I can't do the treadmill again. All of you TM runners, I look up to you. 

After the gym I went to the grocery store to get slightly violated by some guy. He stopped to talk to me about running (cause I had running clothes on?) Then preceded to touch me on my theigh, knee, arm, shoulder, hand (about a billion times), and almost my upper chestal area before I ducked away from him. No lie. I don't think he noticed me backing away with each gester, cause he came in closer each time and blocked me from escaping. Anyway, he talked about all the running and tri's he's done. At one point I thought it was a joke so I started to laugh during the middle of some story about a running injury he sustained. He stopped and inched closer to my face and said, "look at me in the eye and don't laugh again." Huh? I was sort of shocked and confused. Ugh. I left unimpressed and slightly nauseous. My daughter started talking about the weird man in the car and my daughter said, "Mom, I think he belongs in that hospital you work at (aka psych unit)." Mmmmmm hummmm. So that made the day fun:) lol.

 Quality run tomorrow, I hope.

Watched the Biggest Looser marathon special. I couldn't hear it so my attention was strained. However, I was able to get in 8 miles before I had to run out the door. AP at 7:30, with the last mile at 6:25. Felt fine. I imagined what it would be like to run a marathon in the  6:30 range and it scared me a little. The treadmill does a goo job of making you feel like a slow poke huh!
