He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

ODE to ANA and BRITTA's AWESOMENESS.

We passed two men runners today and they were not old or fat. I did feel a little bad when we saw the look on the first guys face. He seemed to be thinking "is this really happening?"

Our pace is naturally coming down which is exciting. I am so happy to have found running friends who are committed to putting the miles in. This would be a lot less fun on my own. Love to Ana and Jackie.. you girls are the best.

5 mile tempo with jackie, Ana has flu :(.

tempo splits 7:24, 7:23, 7:23, 7:14, 7:06

Miles two and  three I am figuring would have been about 7-10 seconds faster each but jackie was not feeling well so I did some waiting for her and running back to her to check on her. My tempo pace seems to be right around 7:15 right now. Which is great I can see the improvement. I would love to average 7:30 for SGM 2012 so I am trying to keep on my speed work and keep the miles up.

Was supposed to be a tempo run.. did the best I could. I think I am getting sick.

Splits were not typical for me. Much slower.

7:16, 7:15, 7:37, 7:51, 8:43 (gave up)
