Running Accomplishments:

I have only started running as a sport approximately 2 years ago. So far, my 5K PR is 24:23, my 10K PR is 50:02 and my 1/2 Marathon PR is a 1:55. I'm thinking about taking the marathon plunge, but not quite there yet!

Short-Term Running Goals:

My goals for the next two years: 10K under 48:00 minutes, 1/2 marathon under 1:45 and to complete a 1/2 Ironman.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Not quite sure, other than to remain injury free and healthy. I'm sure there will be a marathon thrown in there somewhere and perhaps even a full Ironman. I'll keep you updated.

Personal:

As for me personally, I recently left a wonderful community of running partners and friends back in Phoenix to start a new job in San Diego. Getting motivated and into a consistent routine has been difficult, but things are settling down. I now realize the importance of having training partners!

 I can get bored easily, so I tend to mix up my workouts often. I am a big believer in cross-training, if nothing else, to break up the monotony of running. I always welcome tips and comments and any extra motivation that anyone may be willing to give!

I woke up a little under the weather this morning...I was coughing all night so I didn't sleep well, but I was still prepared to attempt the run....until I looked outside and realized that it was pouring down rain! So, I packed my gym back and went to work. My plan is to run at least 4 on the treadmill (mainly intervals) and swim for at least 20 minutes after work tonight. I'm writing this down so I stick to it!

 

Well, I almost did it. I did make it to the gym and on the treadmill, but only managed to squeeze out 3. Better than nothing, right? I did intervals of 2 minutes at slightly faster than a 5K pace and then 2 minutes of a recovery jog to make the time go by faster....tonight's workout inspired me to get up early tomorrow and run outside so I don't find myself on the treadmill again tomorrow night.

I hope you feel better and are able to get some good sleep tonight.
