Running Accomplishments:

I started running when I moved to Oregon in 2008.  When I first started, I couldn't even run to the end of my block!  I made it my goal to just run a little bit further each time.  Not too much time went by before I realized how much I loved the sport of running.  I signed up for my first 5k in April 2009. I have loved watching my speed and distance increase as the years have gone by.

Total Distance
8.00

Started out with the intention of doing 10 miles, 3 miles at 9:30, 5 miles at 9:00 and the last 2 at 9:30.  Sadly, I was sidelined at mile 6 with vein pain in my quad.  I walked for a bit and limped thru the last 2 miles to the car.  Average pace was 9:25 for the 8 mi.  Not bad, but super frustrated that my mind, lungs and muscles are ready and the leg pain--which is a few years old now--says no.  Dang.

Saucony Mirage Miles: 8.00
