Short-Term Running Goals:
I've decided that the reason Africans win marathons is because their
training program consists of the threat of being eaten by lions and
trampled by Elephants. I'd run like @%#$ too if a hungry lion were
chasing me!Long-Term Running Goals: Run Susan G Komen 3 day, 60 mile race for the cure
Qualify for & Run in Boston Marathon
Personal: In October '09 I weighed 248 lbs, and slept 16 hours a day. I was miserable. I decided to change that. So far I've lost nearly 80 lbs, and started running. It's been my dream, ever since I was a fat little kid, to run in the Boston Marathon... because I was born there. Now I'm on a journey to the road home.
Married since 2001, had beautiful baby girl in July 08.

Can I be whiney? My sleep has been less than spectacular due to ache-y-ness. I don't hurt, mind you, I just can't get comfortable. My kid has been getting up at 6 & 7 lately, and I'm just NOT ready to deal with her that early. Luckily she knows how to play quietly on her own and use the i-net. Did I mention she's 3? LOL
If you've got kids, check out jumpstart.com. It's what she amuses herself with so I can work on waking up.
Oh and something is going on with my foot below my big toe. Might swing by chiropractor to get that checked out. Walked 1/2 mi at gym, did intervals for 1 mi, then walked 1/2 mi. I don't notice the problem in my foot when I run. I notice it when I walk. And I'm insanely sweaty. What's up with that? I haven't had a sweat ribbon down to my belly button in over a year. My Highway to Hale royal purple racing shirt was nearly black with sweat in that nice little curve we all know. Good thing? My body temp must be up. Fat burn, woo!

| Quick jaunt around the neighborhood with my friend I mentioned the other day. 1 mile walking, 1 mile intervals. Easy peasy. |

| New Mile PR: 13:07. I was smokin'! (that's shaving 15-20 seconds off per lap)
Unfortunately I also sounded like a smoker. Some of my fellow runners suggested I go get that checked out. I felt like I was going to bonk, complete with tunnel vision, ringing ears, and breathing through a straw. My windpipe was on fire afterwards. I'm pretty sure it could have ignited a nuclear plant. Going out for an easy run tonight with my friend, and we might go play at some running stores after :)

| Long run today with my Galloway girls. We ran from willow park almost to Thanksgiving Point. Beautiful morning. My knee started acting up the last mile or two. Suits me right for pigging out on bell peppers the last few days! Curse you, nightshades. |

| Went to gym and walked 1/2 mi on outdoor track, then did 1 mi intervals. Felt like I was moving through molasses. Finished recovery workout by walking 1/2 mi completely barefoot on God's carpet (the grass). Found out over the weekend we are expecting our 2nd little monkey. I know pregnant ladies race all the time, but I'm just a little bit terrified with my half marathon only a month away. Seriously debating whether or not to pursue my marathon goal in Sept. I'll be 4 or 5 months along by then. I don't have any symptoms outside of getting a little tired around 2p (who doesn't? 2 o'clock lull), and round ligament pain when I sneeze or get up too fast. Someone please give me the courage to follow through with my goal for this year (marathon) while having a safe pregnancy!

| Ran my first 10k. I was the last one in. It was raining and windy. It kinda sucked. The last mile I was just trying to keep chugging along. I couldn't feel my feet anymore. Kept my eyes on the road. One foot in front of the other. Only a mile left. I look up and my running group is jogging toward me. I almost started crying. I've never had anyone come back for me and run me home. I'm really being urged to try switching into a shoe with more shock absorption for longer runs. I'm kind of in agreement, but I don't want to go back to toe corsets (regular running shoes), especially since I'm only 4 weeks away from the half marathon. Is that really a good time to break in a new pair of shoes?
