| Location: San Diego,CA, Member Since: Sep 26, 2007 Gender: Unknown Goal Type: Unknown 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! Favorite Blogs: |

| | It was my first day back after a two month period of sporadic runs and low motivation. Today marks the day that I have recommitted myself to training. To keep my motivation high, I have set the goal to run the Silver Strand Half Marathon on November 11th and attempt to break my PR of 1:55. Lots of work ahead of me, since today's early morning run was difficult (not to mention my unanticipated sprint during the last mile to deter the person following me!) I am excited to get back into it! | | Add Comment |

Somehow I managed to get up at 5:15 to make it to a one hour spin class today. I am definitely out of spinning shape! The "hills" were challenging, but I did my best to keep the resistance as high as possible. My goal is to spin at least twice a week, and hopefully get at least one bike ride in on the weekends. Need to build up my legs, first! | | Add Comment |
| | Decided to hit the pool for an evening swim. I managed to finish 1000 meters, 250 with hand paddles. It was a slow swim and my arms were fatigued when I was done. Felt good to be back in the pool. Total swim time was just over 25 minutes. | | Add Comment |
| | Just went for a quick run this morning, but incorporated a few moderate hills. It gave me a chance to explore my neighborhood and get the blood flowing. My calves were a little sore, but overall, I felt good. | | Add Comment |
| | Well, I had planned on participating in the AIDS Walk/Run 10K, but due to a power outage, I slept in a little too long. Instead, I did my own 6 mile loop along the harbor (much more scenic than Balboa park, in my mind, not to mention, free!). In hindsight, I am glad that I did not do the 10K, b/c today was very difficult and my calves were tight. I've never had this problem before, so I'm going to rest tomorrow. Monday is typically my day off, too. My 6 miles took me 52:06, and my split was only negative by 2 seconds! I certainly have my work cut out for me if I want to PR in the Silver Strand Half in November! | | Comments(3) |
