Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom. I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed. I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011. I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs. When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time. After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022. I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

Race: Wounded Warrior Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 02:15:00

Race started at 7:30 am. It was cloudy, humid, very hot. Sun came out later... it felt oppressively hot to me. Got major blood blisters on left foot. Right foot got regular blisters. Felt like crying last 2 miles but didn't stop running!

First 5 miles did a 9:00- 9:30 pace. Middle miles did 9:30 - 10:00 pace. Miles 10-12 did over 11:00 miles. Got faster last mile. Averaged 10:18 pace.

Really bad race overall... but I completed the goal I set for myself when baby was 2 weeks old. 3.5 months after giving birth, I ran a half marathon and I had lost ALL my baby weight. I'm pretty happy with that!

6:00 am at Lady Bird Lake in Austin, TX. Ran with Gilbert's Gazelle's!

5 miles at 8:40 - 9:20 pace with group going up several hills. Peeled off from group to get back on flat trails after 5 miles. This experience demonstrates that I need to add more hill workouts to my routine! They should be called Gilbert's Mountain Goats instead! Ran last 5 miles on trails at 9:45- 10:00 pace.
