| Member Since: Mar 11, 2015 Gender: Female Goal Type: Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: I have ran numerous 5k's. The funnest I think was the anywhere anytime race held in IF in January. You only know the day, they text you the time & you don't know the distance until you're done. Super fun! The other one was the cerebrun in PA. It was a 7-10 mile race with obstacle courses & the distance was determined on the path you took which was decided on your answer to crazy questions. I have ran 1 10k & got hurt 2 miles into my 2nd. I am finally back at it after a 6 months hiatus. Short-Term Running Goals: This year I want to do a race each month, building up to complete a few half marathons & at least one marathon in 2016. Long-Term Running Goals: My goal is to run as long as my body will tolerate it. Personal: I run to stay sane. I consider my runs my "me time". I am single & the mother of a furbaby who goes on my shorter runs with me, she can make it about 3 miles & she is spent. She's a great running partner. |

| Somehow according to the scale I managed to gain 6 pounds while running my butt off, I'm going with the excuse it's just muscle.
Mile 1: 6.0
Mile 2: 6.1
Mile 3-8: 6.6 with a 3 minute break every 2 miles
Mile 9: 6.0
I'm feeling less fatigued after my long runs which is awesome. My last run I could tell the difference between a 9 min pace vs a 10 vs a 10:30 which is awesome. Progress! I'm learning pacing!

| After a 5 day hiatus I did an "easy" run. Easy as in slow but not as in distance. I figured out a a new place to run today so that was sweet! Asthma kicked my trash the first half & joint kicked my trash the second half. Can't afford to take a break like that again!

| Ran on the treadmill today instead of outdoors. Started at 6.0 for a warm up & quickly went up to 6.1. Ended finishing at 6.6 by slowly working up the speed.

| Today is the longest run I've ever done, 12 miles. My first 6 were more brutal than the last 6. I had stashed an ensure protein drink (not milky) & speed beans that really helped that second half (got them at mile 7). I got a little side ache but nothing that stopped me so I'm glad I found out how to get energy:) It was cold & windy so I was really layered up today. I dropped off my gloves & scarf at one point & then picked them up on the way back which worked out great cause the wind picked up again. I need to figure out how to help my ankles on those long runs. I'm excited for my upcoming races!

| I was supposed to do 6 miles but didn't have time to do it all in the morning & ankles & knees hurt during the day so I took a little break. I actually was bit by a dog on Sunday! I thought it just got me with it's claw but when I got a better look it's actually a bite! Running is dangerous!

| Rocked it. Felt cool running in areas where a lot of cyclists go. My two little legs took me there without being able to cruise & rest down hill. Def need my inhaler at mile 5-6. I'm able to drink that ensure drink with vitamins & eat jelly beans without side aches & sour stomach so that rocks to know already.

| Today I had my fastest 5-7 mile run according to my running app. I was really pushing it up the hills. The only break I took was when a truck passed me & the 2 guys inside were laughing & pointing behind me. A goat had decided to run behind me & I had no idea. I had to stop to walk the goat back to it's home. ha ha. Running is always an adventure!

| Today I did 30 minutes on a bike where your legs cycle out in front of you & that was okay but not a great workout. I found a spinning bike upstairs at the gym & that was an awesome workout! Cycled fast on the chorus & then tightened the knob & went slower during the rest of the song. Worked well!
PS. I'd still rather be running, especially with the nice weather!

| Sadly today I was injured. I started having foot/ankle pain earlier in the week so decided to stretch, ice & wait until my race today to try running. I only made it to mile 2 until the pain was too much to bear. I hobbled back to the finish. It will probably be a few weeks until I can run again :(
