Short-Term Running Goals:

Hobble Creek was a BUST :( so I just want to run a 1/2 Marathon before April 29th 2009, my 40th birthday.

No injuries EVER again :D

Look like a beach volley ball player!

I want to run 40 miles a week. 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run a marathon between April 29th, 2009 and April 28th, 2010 for my 40th Year :)  **I really want to do this in under 4 hours***

I want to run 6 miles in under an hour and eventually under 50 min.

To finish in a single number (1-9) in my age division ;) I did this at Onion Days 5K 2008- I placed 8th!  Yeah!!!

I want to finish in the top 5 of my age division :D

Personal:

My Favorite Quote-   "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

I have recently lost a lot of weight and running is very new to me (I started running about 2 years ago).  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.

My new weight goal is to have lost 100 pounds.  I am quite sure I can get to about 93, but I am not sure about the 100.  The weight tracker is tracking my total weight loss.

I did a Yoga class today for my rest day.  It was a class entitled, No harm, non violence.  It was a bit ironc.  As I was trying to enjoy my class, my children went MAD and about half way through, I wasn't sure if they would survive with our harm or violence.  I think karma was playing a joke on me, as I am in triangle pose yelling at my kids to shush up so I can hear the instructor teach me how to embrace the "non voilence no harm" leg of yoga. :)

Kim and I ran along the canal through Salem.  It was really beautiful.  The road had been grated and was really rough through some spots, but was OK for the most part.  We saw baby ducks with their Mama.  Pretty cool.  The last three miles were HORRIBLE.  Kim hit the runners high and I hit the wall!  That whole day I just felt as if someone had beat me up.  Sunday I had a migrane and still felt beat.

Pretty run.  Next week I think we will go toward Santaquin.
