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. :)

My sports doc wanted me to try and run a mile today...so of course I went over a bit and did about 1.5 miles.

Leg felt tight but no sharp pain - so I will take that.

Going to try and run 2-3 miles on Wednesday morning, probably on the trail.

Tomorrow morning it's of to swim 1 mile at the pool..which unfortunately takes so much longer than running 1 mile.

Leave it to a runner to cheat a little on the mileage - how'd it go with the 2-3 miler?
