Running Accomplishments:

I started Runner's World beginning runners program (run 30 min. without stopping in 8 weeks) on Oct. 24, 2011. I was able to run a 5K without stopping 4 1/2 weeks later in 39 min. Soooo slow--but I did it! I've only missed 1 day of running (the day of the BIG WIND) since.

Short-Term Running Goals:

I want to run several 5Ks. I want to be able to run 3 miles in 30 min. I would really like to be able to run a 10K. I want to keep running every day!

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to keep in shape so I can always keep up with my kids on the hike up to Cleo's Bath on Sonora Pass.

Personal:

^{I'm married with 7 incredible children. I work at home while keeping very involved in my 2 teenage boys' activities. I have an amazing husband who constantly cheers me on!}

Yay! What a fun race! My kids came to meet me for the last 1/4 mi., cheering me on and helping me to finish strong. I dropped over 5 min. from my last 5K on Thanksgiving, and finished 5th in my age division, up from 14th last time. Next race--Thanksgiving Point 5 K April 28. Goal--try to finish in under 30 min. I will have to do some serious higher intensity training to make it--but I'm sure I can get there!

Great job! And probably you'll get faster if you just keep running every day and gradually go a little farther.

Awesome job, Mom! Maybe one day I'll run a 5k with you and Catherine (don't tell Catherine I said that.. she won't stop asking me).
