August 24, 2011

I got up and ran 8 this morning. It went pretty well. Monday my run was pretty slow but I did try to add some hills for training. On Monday I was close to 9 min miles but today I averaged just over 8 min miles. Like 8:15 or something if I remember right. My foot is feeling good as well which is really encouraging to me! I can't wait to see how Saturday goes. I have been so nervous where my run was slower on Monday and then with my foot I just have worried I wouldn't be able to do it and come off not hurting but today I am confident I can!

Introduction

I think for most people that will be reading this know my story, but for those of you that don't. Here it is. About a year ago I started running with a friend. I have never been a runner and never wanted to be a runner, but after having my third baby and nearing her first birthday I knew I had to do something or I would start packing on the pounds. When I heard a friend was running I decided I would try it. Another friend had once told me that it seemed like after she worked up to 4 miles she started to see a change in her body. After I ran that first time I decided I wanted to try and run 4 miles with out stopping. I was surprised when I was able to work my self up to 4 miles shortly after starting. Once I was able to run 4, I decide I would ask another friend if she wanted to go running. We start running together and before long with out knowing it I was training for the Top Of Utah Half Marathon. I ran the TOU Half last August and I am hooked. I am determined I have to run a marathon once in my life so I am shooting for the TOU Marathon this September. I started this blog because I want to be able to look back and see what runs I did and how I felt!
