I have run a few half-marathons. My goal is to get faster.
Long-Term Running Goals:
Eventually my husband wants me to run a marathon with him. My other goals is to try and keep healthy and fit for life.
Personal:
Married to my handsome husband (Big Dog) with 5 beautiful children, Anycia 16, AJ 13, McKade 8, Jadyn 5, and Kamri 9 months. I just had Kamri in September and I am trying to get into shape after 9 years. One thing against me is my Rheumatoid Arthritis that I have had since I was 16. Working through it and trying to keep going. My husband is a great support and a runner himself. I just wanted to join in and do something he does...maybe I will be able to keep up with him someday. So yes I am definitely a beginner runner.
Ran last night. Trying to run distance and not worry about going fast. So I did a very slow 13 minute mile. Ran the whole time didn't walk...gotta do six tomorrow. Only 3 1/2 weeks until the half marathon and I am not even close to being ready...Oh well, I am still doing it.
This was a race we signed up for the night before. My husband and I ran together and pushed the jog stroller. I haven't been running so this time was ok...didn't beat my 29:29 from the Run-4-Kids 5k.
Ran 6 miles last night. I finished in 1:03. I was so happy and proud of myself. Farthest I have ran ever. So this was a big accomplishment for me. For those Elite Runners this is slow...but hey I am still a beginner! The half marathon is in a week and a half...if I finish in 2:45 I will be happy!
