Running Accomplishments:

High School : My average running time was mid to low 21's for a 5k. After highschool I ran a few 22's and stopped racing for about a year. I recently started racing 5k again and my best time so far is 23:27.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Keeping myself motivated and running every day. I want to get as close as I can to the times I was racing in high school for 5k's. I am also hoping to run my first marathon within the next few months.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Right now it seems more like a dream than an actual goal, but I would love to run the Boston Marathon. Right now, I am just focussing on smaller races and hopefully finishing my first marathon.

Personal:

I have been happily married for just over a year now. No kids, but we have a wonderful dog. She competed in her first 5k with me just a few weeks ago. :)

Note to Self- Just because you don't feel the wind on the way out, doesn't mean it is not there. It was cold in the wind, but didn't feel too bad on the way out. My achilles was uncomfortable, but that is a norm I guess. Nice to get out :)

Hills, mud, hills, mud, wind, hills, and more mud. Yep, that about sums up my trail run today :) It was good to get out though. Achilles, really hurt still. But nothing restrictive....so I guess I should be happy??

I would like to thank the mud for adding that special touch to my hill work today. It just wouldn't have been complete without it. It was nice to get out on the trails, even if it got pretty dark and creepy on me. I got to see some pretty unique looking deer. A few miles in, I saw a group of 4 deer and the baby was half white. It was the wierdest looking thing ever.

Fun day fishing & then ran from echo lake to greenville falls. :) I was followed by a little cat for like 1/2 a mile, Got chased by a dog (thank you invisible fence), passed by a bunch of horse and buggies....overall a good evening. Stopped short of the 15 I was shooting for because it started to thunder and lightning:( My achilles was happy to stop anyway.

Pain free running last week, but for some reason it started hurting today around 3.5. (guessing...because I was running without my garmin). Just running to run this week. Trying to get back in the swing of things. Out and back, super flat but SUPER windy

Lots of rain! :) I love running in the rain. Mixed it up with trails and bike path. Leg is still hurting, but thinking about getting another opinion. Fingers crossed!

Was attempting 6, but my leg had other plans. Against my better judgement, did hills and the park. I felt ok to start, but that was because it was mostly downhill the first mile. :)

Not much time between church, cookout, fishing, and bible study...but managed a short run  on the bike path. Still achy:(

Explored a new (very small) portion of the bike path north of where I normally run. It was hot, hot, hot today! I ran right after I left the doctors today and was pretty much pain free. I can't wait to get back to that. Limited to every other day and back to the doc Friday morning, so hopefully there is some improvement soon.
