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. :)

Rest day. No running, no yoga! I have the 3M Half Marathon on Sunday. I am not going to race it, but will still be running it about a minute faster than I would normally do a long run.

Planning to run it in about 1:40 (7:38 pace). The race is largely downhill so that is probably about a 7:50 anywhere else, or close to my MGP that I hope to run at Eugene.

My hamstring feels a bit tight after the speed work this week. I think this calls for a visit to my favorite ART guy, Dr. Z, before the weekend! :)

AND - tomorrow I get to carbo load!

I wish I could run a 1:40 without trying.

Burt - no, trust me, it will be a push!

The 3M half is known around here to be a fast course, so people seem to have pretty aggressive goals and use it to qualify for New York. :)

Well, I like your goals. You can do it!
