I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. 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.

6xhills. We cheated today. We didn't do a warm up or cool down. We just busted out our hills so we could climb back in bed before our kids woke up.

Hey Britta,

SG will be my fourth marathon too!! Nice job on your hills. Did you get any additional sleep when you got home?

From Teena on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 12:20:30

Btw ... I responded to your question on my blog. Probably should have done it here. :(

I climbed back in bed about 2 min. before my 4 year old joined me. She was too busy poking at my face for me to get any sleep.

Welcome to the blog! The 4 year old are cute and all but not too condusive to sleep:)

From Teena on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 15:54:57

Well, 2 minutes is 2 minutes I guess! :)

What time are you shooting for? Are you shooting for a 3:40 or something less than that at SG?

From britta on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 16:10:03

I am shooting for 3:40. My partner is shooting for 3:30 she keeps trying to talk me into it because we have been doing the exact same training. I feel really confident about a 3:40 but 3:30 feels out of reach this year.

What are you shooting for?

From Teena on Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 16:18:25

If you've trained for it, I'd say go for it! I need a 3:45 to qualify, but secretly I might just shoot for a 3:39.

I guess I'll just wait and see what feels good come Oct. 4th!!
