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. :)

Went to the annex this morning at 8 to do my little pre-half marathon run.  Ran into Mike and ended up running with him, which was great because it assured I would only do 3 miles.  In my head I was all set for 7!  

My knee/hamstring is feeling so much better after the ART yesterday.  So happy about that. My doc is going to be at the finish, so I am happy knowing I can get some more ART if I don't feel 100% after the race!  :)

After my run, I walked up to Gilbert (coach) and said that I am going to run 1:40.  He said, no, 1:38.   Ugh.  I looked it up on the "calculator" and it makes more sense based on my recent repeat times, full marathon goal, etc...  I told him I wanted to take it easy. He said "WHY??"  We shall see what happens...Gotta go eat some more carbs :) 

 Playlist done. Check. It's go time.
