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. :)

So I get to the parking lot of where our group meets, look down at my arm and realize I forgot my Garmin! First long run with out since I bought it, but I survived :)  Someone I ran with the entire way had one and sent me the splits.

My legs really did not like this run today.  I've been running on the trail way to much lately and really need to change things up during the week.  When we get the "Grove loop" it is hard to get excited when you have already been out there every day the previous week.

Did the entire loop, with a 3 mile addition up Lake Austin Blvd. 

I had planned to run this a bit harder but did not feel 100% recovered from my pace run on Thursday night.

16 miles - spits: 9:53, 8:56, 8:49, 8:46, 8:28, 9:18, 8:59, 8:24, 8:46, 8:40, 8:39, 8:50, 8:44, 8:51, 8:42, 7:55

Still a solid run.
