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!}

Note to kids: I LOVE my GPS watch that you gave me for Christmas! It's the BEST! I'm more disappointed on bad weather days to not be able to use my watch than I am to have to get on the treadmill! Thank you!

Note to husband: I thought you said it was just over 2 mi. to get home from your office. My very cool GPS watch said it was just .64 mi. What a disappointment! Somehow, it seemed much longer than that.

Note to self: Be sure and check GPS watch to make sure you restart it after stopping it when picking up dog's poop.

Note to dog: It would be so helpful if you would learn to take care of business before we go out! I guess we both had stupid days today!

Dogs, all they do is bark and poop! why did I get one again?

I love my garmin and swear by it! :) It drives my husband nuts that I can estimate distances better than he can. Especially when it is along a route I've run numerous times :)

From Dad's regular office? Google maps says between 2.3 and 2.6 depending on the route you took. Maybe the watch stopped counting for a bit?
