Personal:

I am a 27 year old girl, from Illinois (via NYC), currently living in Austin, TX.  

I've been running for about 6 years, have completed 14 marathons and recently qualified for the Boston Marathon with a time of 3:34!  This was a 23 minute PR for me!

After years of running very high mileage at pretty slow paces, I decided to get serious and joined Gilbert's Gazelles training group. The BQ came 8 months later.

Hoping this blog will help add some further insight and organization to my running. :)

Group had two options today, 800s or a 1 min on 1 min off fartlek.  Was planning on doing a fartlek today but the trail isn't in very good shape (in my opinion) so I chose to go to the track.  Rolled my ankle yesterday just doing recovery, so I figured this was overall the less risky option.  

Went to the track and did 8 x 800 a little bit slower than I normally would since I ran mile repeats on Tuesday. Normally they would be 3:20s.

If my current career does not work out, I think I will become a pacer.  :)

Consistency! Yeah, I agree, with trail in such bad shape after the rains going to the track was probably the safer option.

Hope your ankle is not too serious.

Great job, I am usually all over the place when I do repeats. You guys have a fast running group down in Austin!
