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.

Up and at em' early.  At the gym by 4:30 to do 45 minutes of weights and then a 3 mile run.  Felt great.  Oh how I love...well I hate the early wake up call....but how I love the coffee all by myself in the morning.  It's a great time to get my chats in with God.

Weights for 45 minutes and then a nice 3 mile run on the TM.  Started at a 9:30 pace and slowly bumped it up over the first mile.  Ended my run at 8:15 pace!  Whoo hoo--Haven't ever been that speedy!

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.
