Running Accomplishments:

I participated in my first marathon in Portland '07 and finished at 3:46... My only goal for my first marathon was to finish with 10 minute miles, I didn't really know what to expect. The longest race I had completed was a half marathon which was quite challenging, it is called The Dirty Half and it is located in Bend, Oregon throughout the race you gain and lose over 1000 feet of altitude and the 10 th mile is one long hill. Yikes. But two years in a row I finished at 1:45 so I felt good about it.

Short-Term Running Goals:

My short term running goals are to finish the Dirty Half this year at 1:37 and to qualify for Boston in the Portland Marathon this year, coming in at 3:35.

Long-Term Running Goals:

My long term goals for running are just to always have the desire and will to keep running every morning and to make my husband complete a marathon. He is considering it.

I went running with my friend ashley but she runs quite a bit slower than me, so at certain points in our run I would run back to where she was and run with her a bit. It is hard though because although my stride isn't long at all, it is really quick so everytime we were going to turn I would go back to her. Usually this run takes me about 36 minutes so although my pace didn't really get that much altered, I probably ran at least a mile and half more than her since I kept going back for her. It was a beautiful day, but pretty cold. When we finished my hands were icicles.
