Well Well Well...look at the date!!! Holy cow!!

Time to get serious about the running venue in 2011!!! As I have completed, a 5K and a half and then this weekend is an 8K. I am signed up for 2 more halves and a few other smaller races. Are you ready ???? I am getting there.

Yesterday was AMAZING!!! I ran 8 miles and it felt sooo good ! I wanted to keep on trucking but I had to pull back for a work mtg !! Yet, I did it and it was soo fantastic. I was able to hit my fastest mile at mile 5!! While kicking it hard up the hills .... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Today I will do a shorter run for a longer run again on Thursday ... and then race time.

Hopefully you are keeping up on you as I am trying on me ... maybe I will see ya out there running with me ??? I have a few others that are running regularly now and I am so enjoying the new people and also the wonderful company.

* Side note: Went rollerblading the other day -- OMG -- I loved it and soo miss it ! Another thing that I am thinking that the children and I will pick up this summer :O)

Push it dear friends -- PUSH IT !!

Time flies. That's what I am coming to believe and know.

Lived Austin Texas !!!!

1:59:58

Thank you to Jean for helping pull me through. What a course! OOFTA!!! HILLS, humidity, then there was a bit of wind!! Holy Cats!!

First thought -- >> WRONG!!!

I was beating up on myself ... then I was reminded:

• This time was hit AFTER a long recovery from injury
• This was a 1:40 minutes slower then PR
• This is a NEW time
  
• This was a difficult course
• This RACE was FINISHED
• etc etc

After this was all pointed out I realized that this was a HUGE accomplishment!!!! Also that I need to stand tall and be proud!!

Now it is time to work on my next race. As well as work on core exercises and get my body stronger to support the time goals that I will hit!!

Each day there is an hour put in here and there for these goals.

For example:

- 5 days of circuits from Sherry Sonnenberg ( http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1025588547#!/group.php?gid=114436743769 )
- 5 days of running to train for SEATTLE !!!! ( http://seattle.competitor.com/ )

Push on Dearest Readers -- Push on!!
